Murder, Murder!

Second London murder Murder General Glossop killed on the steps o' St Paul's Cathedral

Look at this another murder

Just like the other murder

That's poor old General Glossop - dead

Last week the bishop copped it

The bloke what done it hopped it

That feller must be off his 'ead

That's two in the last four days

This killer has fancy ways

To kill outside St Paul's

Requires a lotta balls

He hates the upper class

He must be on 'is a*s

Who could he be

Don't look at me

What a shame Dear General Glossop

Hear there's a lot of gossip

Although it didn't come from me

Of course not No - Of course not

Sung

What about that poor old Bishop

That dreadful dirt they dish up

Do you think it's true

It well could be Imagine

Fancy

Really

I say that it goes to show

Some people we think we know

Aren't all they might appear

How right you are my dear

It's such a shocking thing

But awfully interesting

Who could it be

Well now - Let's see

Murder murder - doin' folks in

Murder murder - is the worst sin

Murder murder - has me screamin'

Bloody murder in the night

Murder murder - makes me blood thin

Murder murder - makes me 'ead spin

Murder murder - starts me drinkin'

Bloody murder In the night

London has a killer on the loose

Or a gang

Either way - let 'em hang

Gotta get 'is head inside a noose

Right away

The police are no use

Maybe his nerve will fail him

They've gotta try to nail him

They've gotta trail an' jail him now

Murder

No matter who we're blamin'

Till they put wot's-'is-name in

There's gonna be one flamin' row

Murder murder - it's a curse man

Murder murder - it's perverse man

Murder murder - nothing's worse than

Bloody murder in the night

Interlude

Read about the worst two murders

Much worse than the first two murders

That makes it murders three and four

They've murdered dear old Bessie

I hear extremely messy

And poor old Archie is no more

That's four in the last eight days

It's London's latest craze

This time he was in Park Lane

And he may come back again

Until the killer's found

There's danger all around

What can we do

We wish we knew

Murder murder - Once there's one done

Murder murder - Can't be undone

Murder murder - Lives in London

Bloody murder in the night

Sweet Death has taken this brave man from us

Sweet Death 'as raised 'is score to five

Friends take what comfort that you can from us

Thank God us lot are still alive

God in Heaven - now forever

Take him home and hold him near

God in Heaven - now forever

Take him - and leave us lot here

Catchin' such a madman could be hard

Spoken

Shouldn't be I agree

We shall see

Sung

Cos they're all so thick at Scotland Yard

Spoken

Tellin' me I agree

So do we

Sung

He'll kill us if we let him

They gotta go and get him

I know a way to net him

How

Murder

No matter who we're blamin'

Till they put wot's-'is-name in

There's gonna be a flamin' row

Murder murder - On your doorstep

Murder murder - So watch your step

Murder murder - Take one more step

You'll be murdered in the night

Murder murder - Once there's one done

Murder murder - Can't be undone

Murder murder - Lives in London

Bloody murder in the night

Whispered

Murder
