Here are the alternate lyrics, also known as "The Dallas Version" of Less Than Zero:

Janet takes her clothes off in succession, while her husband rides a bumper in the President's procession.
She`s sees him on the screen as she looks up from giving head.
When he's had enough of that her lover throws her on the bed
to teach her she`s alive and suddenly he`s dead.

Chorus

Calling Mister Oswald, calling anyone at the scene,

If you were making home movies there's a chance you might have been seen,
They've got a thousand variations,
every witness in a file.
Janet puts on some coffee and she comes back with a smile.
She says, "I hear that South America is coming into style."

Chorus

A pistol was still smoking, a man lay on the floor.
Mister Oswald thought he had an understanding with the law.
She`s got rubies on her fingers,
Janet turns and looks away.
Her mind upon a basement out of the USA.
She says, "Let`s talk about the future now we've put the past away."

Chorus

My aim is true is his is his best album without a doubt. It's like Abbey road or Sticky Fingers: its universally appealing. All tunes Jam with the exception of mystery dance; which is most likely filler out of necessity.
Most artists work up to their best LP. Elvis saved his best for first. It came out with a bang in '77. Every Monday morning Welcome to the Working Week opened up radio shows.
I'm still turning people onto it who dont listen to music much; but now listen to this one.Great tunes.

Does anyone remember the alternate verion for the second set of lyrics that Elvis used to do live? They started out,
"Calling Mr Oswald calling anyone at the scene,
If you were making home movies there's a chance you might have been seen..."
But I can't seem to remember the second stanza for the life of me.

Actually he's English and it's about Oswald Mosley the baron who was a very well known racist.

What does that have to do with my comment?
I was only asking of anyone remembered an alternate version of the second stanza.
FYI He calls him Mr. Oswald in this version as well, even though it IS about Mosley.
