The Tiger Lillies - ABC lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - ABC lyrics]
A is for Arsenic someone thought fun
To include in the icing on top of a bun
B is for bats that swoop out of the air
And squeaking inaudibly catch in one's hair
C is for cord of a moderate length
To hang oneself with it
Requires no great strength
D, E, F, G, H, I, J
K is for Kris with a blade that is wavy
One wonders why somebody smeared
It with gravy
L's for a letter that lay in a trunk
Its contents explain how the dinghy was sunk
M is for madhouse where is confined
A lady whose friends say she's
Out of her mind n, O, P
Q is for quilt wrapped around a dead torso
A sick making sight could scarcely be more so
R is for Ray's wicked invention
Dissolves at a distance the
Parts you don't mention
S is for suicide so it would seem
But then who was it
Uttered that unfinished scream t, U, V, W, X
Y is for yonder where someone is lying
Which proves, seen close
To be somebody dying
Z is for zero, the hour of doom
It will strike any minute but
No-one knows to whom
To include in the icing on top of a bun
B is for bats that swoop out of the air
And squeaking inaudibly catch in one's hair
C is for cord of a moderate length
To hang oneself with it
Requires no great strength
D, E, F, G, H, I, J
K is for Kris with a blade that is wavy
One wonders why somebody smeared
It with gravy
L's for a letter that lay in a trunk
Its contents explain how the dinghy was sunk
M is for madhouse where is confined
A lady whose friends say she's
Out of her mind n, O, P
Q is for quilt wrapped around a dead torso
A sick making sight could scarcely be more so
R is for Ray's wicked invention
Dissolves at a distance the
Parts you don't mention
S is for suicide so it would seem
But then who was it
Uttered that unfinished scream t, U, V, W, X
Y is for yonder where someone is lying
Which proves, seen close
To be somebody dying
Z is for zero, the hour of doom
It will strike any minute but
No-one knows to whom
