Murder Murder Lyrics

NEWSBOY
Read about the 'ideous murder!
Profane religious murder!

FIRST GENTLEMAN
The poor old bishop,
what a shock!

STREET VENDOR
Seen walking 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
Donna 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
Donna eis, domine!

HYDE
General Glossop! I am happy to inform you that you are relieved of you 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
is 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 CLASS 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 put wot's-'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!
They've murdered dear old Bessie!
I hear extremely messy!
And poor old Archie is no more!

WOMAN
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
and '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!

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!

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 matter who we're blamin'
till they put wot's-'is-name in
there's gonna be
there's gonna be
there's gonna be a flamin' row!

Murder, Murder
on your 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!
