Murder, Murder (with The Crew)

[newsboy]

Read about the 'ideous murder,

Profane, religious murder !



[first gentlemen]

The poor old bishop,

What a shock !



[street vendor]

Seen walkin' wiv 'is daughter,

A moment prior to slaughter !



[newsboy]

The shepherd tendin' to 'is flock !



[crowd]

'e died in a london slum-

A slave to martyrdom-

'e died without complaint !-

'e should be made a saint !-



'e's gone back 'ome to god !-

It all seems very odd !-

Why should it be,

This mystery ?-



Murder, murder-

In the night air !

Murder, murder-

It's a nightmare !

Murder, murder-

It's a right scare,

Bloody murder

In the night !



Murder, murder-

Makes your heart thump !

Murder, murder-

Makes your nerves jump !

Murder, murder-

Makes your blood pump !

Bloody murder

In the night !



[congregation]

Dona eis, requiem



[priest]

Sweet death has taken

This brave

Man from us !



[congregation]

Requiem aeternam



[priest]

Friends, take what comfort

That you can from us !



[congregation]

Dona eis domine



[hyde]

General glossop ! i'm happy to inform you that you at relieved of your duties, sir. all of them !



[a man]

Look at this, another murder,

Just like the other murder !

That's poor old general glossop, dead !



[a boy]

Last week the bishop copped it !

The bloke what done it 'opped it !

That feller must be off 'is 'ead !



[another crowd member]

That's two in the last four days !

This killer has fancy ways !



[a fourth]

To kill outside st paul's

Requires a lotta balls !



[a fifth]

He hates the upper class !



[a sixth]

He must be on 'is arse !



[crowd]

Who could he be ?



[the boy]

Don't look at me !



[crowd]

" bloody murder in the night ! "



Murder, murder-

Doin' folks in-

Murder, murder-

In the worst sin !

Murder, murder

Has me screamin'

" bloody murder in the night ! "



Murder, murder-

Makes me blood thin !

Murder, murder-

Makes me' ead spin !

Murder, murder-

Starts me drinkin' !

Bloody murder

In the night !

In the night !



[hyde]

Bessie, my love... you really should be more careful... wearing your real diamonds out on the street. you never know whom you might encounter !



[upper and lower crust on the street]

London has a killer on the loose !

Could be a gang !

Gotta get 'is 'ead inside a noose !

The man must hang



[crowd]

Maybe his nerve will fail him !-

They've gotta try to nail him !-

They've gotta trail an' jail him,

Now !



Murder !

No matter who we're blamin'

Till they pull wots 'is name in,

There's gonna be one flamin'

Row !



Murder, murder-

It's a curse, man !

Murder, murder-

It's perverse, man !

Murder, murder-

Nothing's worse than

Bloody murder

In the night !



[hyde]

Bad news from god, teddy !



[first newsboy]

Read about the worst two murders - !



[second newsboy]

Much worse than the first two murders !



[crowd]

That makes it murders three and four !



(variously)

They've murdered dear old bessie !-

I hear extremely messy !-

And poor old archie is no more !-



[women]

They say a lot of blood and gore !



[all]

That's four in the last eight days !

It's london's latest craze !



[second newsboy]

This time 'e was in park lane !

An 'e may come back again !



[women]

Until the killer's found

There's danger all around !



[crowd]

What can we do ?

What can we do ?

What can we do ?

We wish we knew !



[crowd]

Catchin' such a madman could be hard !-

He'll kill !-

At will !-

Cos they're all so thick at scotland yard !-

No brains !-

No skill !-



[all]

He'll kill us, if we let him !

They'd better go and get him !



I know a way to net him !-

How ?



Murder !

No metter who we're blamin'

Till they pull wot's 'is name in,

There's gonna be,

There's gonna be,

There's gonna be a flamin'

Row !



Murder, murder-

On our doorstep !

Murder, murder-

So, watch your step !

Murder, murder-

Take one more step,

You'll be murdered

In the night !

Murder, murder-

Once there's one done-

Murder, murder

Can't be undone !

Murder, murder

Lives in london !-

Bloody murder

In the night !

In the night !
