There is a house in London
|
Where even in winter time
|
the windows are always open wide
|
There is a house in London
|
Where incense burns at all hours
|
concealing a much less pleasant smell
|
A sour stench that mingles with
|
the scent of burning oil
|
|
There in Melrose Avenue
|
so many guests come and go
|
some come to stay
|
Some of the guests come to stay
|
At one hundred ninety five
|
so many people come and go
|
but too many guests come to stay
|
Neatly lined under the boards of the floor
|
|
Summertime
|
the maggots are crawling everywhere
|
smoke can't keep the flies away
|
Dennis finds harder to tidy up the house
|
|
Tossing salt upon the rotten flesh
|
wiping it away to rid the bodies of worms
|
extracting bowels, liver, heart, and lungs
|
dissecting corpses, packing limbs and head
|
to carry them easily to their funeral pyre
|
