"Murder" He Says

                                  Finally found a fella

Almost completely divine

But his vocabulary

Is killin' this romance of mine

We get into an intimate situation

And then begins this Romeo's conversation



He says, "Murder," he says

Ev'ry 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

And says, "Solid," he says

Meanin' 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' o' leavin' him flat

He says, "Dig, dig, the jumps the old

Ticker is givin'"

Now, he can talk plainer than that



He says, "Murder,"' he says

Ev'ry time we kiss

He says, "Murder," he says

Keep it up like this

And that's, "Murder," he says

In that impossible tone

It 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

Is that the language of love?



He says, "Woof, woof," he says

When he likes my hat

He says, "Tsk, tsk," he says

What the heck is that?

He says, "Wooh, wooh," 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 da groove

And da groove is good lookin'"

He sounds like his uppers don't fit



He says, "Murder"

He says, "Murder"

And the way he says, "Murder" 

In that impossible tone

I've told him over and over and over again

That it'll be nobody else's murder but his own
