"Murder" He Says Songtext
von Duke Heitger & His Swing Band

Finally found a fella, almost completely divine
But his vocabulary is killing this romance of mine
We get into an intimate situation
And then begins this Romeo′s conversation

He says, "Murder", he says
Every time we kiss
He says, "Murder", he says
At a time like this
He says, "Murder", he says
Is that the language of love?

He says, "Solid", he says
Takes me in his arms
He says, "Solid", he says
Meaning all my charms
He says, "Solid", he says
Is that the language of love?


He says, "Chick, chick, you torture me"
Zoot, are we livin'? I′m thinkin of leaving him flat
He says, "Dig, dig the jump, the old ticker is giving"
Now he can talk plainer than that

He says, "Murder", he says
Every time we kiss
He says, "Murder", he says
Keep it up like this
And that, "Murder", he says
In that impossible tone
Will bring on nobody's murder but his own

He says, "Jackson", he says
And my name's Marie
He says, "Jackson", he says
Shoot the snoot to me
He says, "Jackson", he says
Now is that the language of love?

He says, "Woof woof!" he says, when he likes my hat
He says, "Chick chick!" he says, now what the heck is that?
He says, "Woo woo" he says
Is that the language of love?


He says, "Hep, hep with helium"
Now babe, we′re cookin′
And other expressions, to wit
He says, we're in the groove
And the groove is good lookin′
He sounds like his uppers don't fit

He says, "Murder", he says
Every time we kiss
He says, "Murder", he says
Keep it up like this
In that, "Murder", he says
In that impossible tone
Will bring on nobody′s murder but his own
