[G-G11-G]Nailed in their coffins, in top hats and tails.[C-C11-C]

[C-C11-C]They're lecherous and treacherous, a-hell-bent for leather.[G-G11-G]
[G-G11-G]Each of 'em bigger, than all men put together.[C-C11-C]

[G-G11-G]I could dress up you wounds, with a blood-clotted rag.
[G-G11-G]I ain't afraid to make love, to a bitch of a hag[C-C11-C].
[C-C11-C]If you see me comin' and you're standin' there,[G-G11-G]
[G-G11-G]Wave your handkerchief in the air.[C-C11-C]

[G-G11-G]Ship you down, to the house of death.[C-C11-C]
[C-C11-C]One day, you will ask for me.[G-G11-G]
[G-G11-G]They'll be no-one else, that you'll wanna see.[C-C11-C]
[C-C11-C]Bring down fiddle, tune up my strings.[G-G11-G]
[G-G11-G]I'm gonna brake it wide open, like the early Roman kings.

[C-C11-C]Ding-dong-daddy, you're comin' up short.[G-G11-G]
[G-G11-G]They'll put you on trial, in a Sicilian Court[C-C11-C].
[C-C11-C]I have had my fun, I've had my flings.[G-G11-G]
