ABC Songtext
von The Tiger Lillies

Well, A is for Arsenic someone thought fun
To include on the icing in top of a bun.
B are 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 requires no great strength.
E, F, G, H, I, J,
K is fir 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 a Quilt wrapped around a dead torso,
A sick-making sight could scarcely be more so.
R is for Ray's wicked invention
That dissolves at a distance the parts you don't mention.
S is for suicide, so it would seem,
Who was it uttered that unfinished scream? Agh!
T, U, V, W, X,
Y is for Yonder, where someone is lying,
Who proves, seen close to, to be somebody dying,
And Z is for Zero, the hour of doom,
It will strike any minute but no-one knows for whom.
