Little Murders
It’s not illegal
And yet it’s lethal
An innuendo
That when crescendos
Is gonna kill
A little murder
A little dirt
Ill will
A thrill
Here’s to little murders
Cheers to those who do them
Scrap that cloak and dagger-you
Needn’t use them
There is a way
To put someone away
With little, subtle things
That you do
And you say
And
Amen
I’ve done them
Gone and picked a perfect victim
And done him in
And
Ah yes
They’re gruesome
Even to the ones who do them
Go and do some
I love an intrigue
A little mystery
Sleuthing them daily
Who-done-it gets me
And even worse
A little murder
Is hard to capture
At first
The worst
Here’s to little murders
Cheers to those who do them
Scrap that cloak and dagger-you
Needn’t use them
There is a way
To put someone away
With little, subtle things
That you do
And you say
And
Amen
I’ve done them
Gone and picked a perfect victim
And done him in
And
Ah yes
They’re gruesome
Even to the ones who do them
Go and do some
You cannot see them
But you can feel when
A smile gets eerie
And soon you’re weary
Some looks can kill
A little murder
Behind a flirt
Covert
It hurts
Here’s to little murders
Cheers to those who do them
Scrap that cloak and dagger-you
Needn’t use them
There is a way
To put someone away
With little, subtle things
That you do
And you say
And you do
