Once that you've decided on a killing
|
First you make a stone of your heart
|
And if you find that your hands are still willing
|
Then you can turn a murder into art
|
|
There really isn't any need for bloodshed
|
You just do it with a little more finesse
|
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
|
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess
|
|
It's murder by numbers, one, two, three
|
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
|
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
|
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
|
|
Now if you have a taste for this experience
|
And you're flushed with your very first success
|
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
|
And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less
|
|
Because murder is like anything you take to
|
It's a habit-forming need for more and more
|
You can bump off every member of your family
|
And anybody else you find a bore
|
|
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
|
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
|
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
|
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
|
|
Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious
|
In history's great dark hall of fame
|
All our greatest killers were industrious
|
At least the ones that we all know by name
|
|
But you can reach the top of your profession
|
If you become the leader of the land
|
For murder is the sport of the elected
|
And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand
|
|
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
|
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
|
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
|
It's as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E
|
