- Last Grizz
-
- Back in 1916 I got a chance at
fame.
- LA county, out near Sunland
- I shot a bear, by name
- a Grizzly, but not just any
one
- the last that ever came
- to Southern California.
-
- 'Cause I shot and killed the
same
- got my picture in the
paper.
- The bear now lying tame
- my foot placed right upon
him.
-
- Wild country was the blame
- a thing like that can't come too
close
- like a moth drawn to a
flame
- it will get burned by
people
- that fear the wild game.
-
- So remember me, Cornelius
Johnson
- I did this with no shame.
-
- As a postscript to this
story
- the truth it finally came
- that bear escaped the LA
zoo
- turning CJ's trophy lame.
