The Lyrics
From The Wizard of Oz, of course. On Friday, April 10, 2009, ABC News' 20/20 will air a special called "If I Only Had a Gun". Need I say more?
I would chase away the baddie,
Protect the lass and laddie,
Put perverts on the run!
I could round up the robbers,
Have a showdown with the mobsters
If I only had a gun!
There would be no punk who’d slug me
Harass me or to mug me
For profit or for fun.
With my rod in my pocket
I could tell the world to “sock” it
If I only had a gun!
Oh I…could shoot a guy
Who looked at me askance!
I could make him strip down to his underpants,
Then I would aim [Bang! Bang!] and make him dance!
I could be a local hero,
Not just an urban zero,
Virility undone.
I could win back my manhood,
Be the king of ladies’ fanhood
If I only had a gun!
Protect the lass and laddie,
Put perverts on the run!
I could round up the robbers,
Have a showdown with the mobsters
If I only had a gun!
There would be no punk who’d slug me
Harass me or to mug me
For profit or for fun.
With my rod in my pocket
I could tell the world to “sock” it
If I only had a gun!
Oh I…could shoot a guy
Who looked at me askance!
I could make him strip down to his underpants,
Then I would aim [Bang! Bang!] and make him dance!
I could be a local hero,
Not just an urban zero,
Virility undone.
I could win back my manhood,
Be the king of ladies’ fanhood
If I only had a gun!

This was a brilliant parody! I loved it!
Clever and absolutely 555 caliber!!!!
Are these 5's in my pocket or am I just happy to see this? Lucky for you, both!
hilarious...especially the underwear verse
No doubt this parody is a favorite of the NRA. What Alvin said. Fine write. Where's five-oh when you need them? Oh, here's some 5's.
Great song. Looking forward to what ABC does with this issue.
Here's some fives you can cling to.
I'm a Gun owner and I thought it is very well done and funny.
