Peg and Pete and Me

I can feel the life runnin' out of me workin' here at pete's Two years ago it was just the thing Workin' cars part time every week I met 'em both at a drag race They both dressed pretty snappy that day Pete's wife peg put the make on me While pete just looked the other way Now no one can say what your future will hold Or what your life will have in store We went home that night Pete passed out on the couch And then peg pulled me down on the floor Well, i know she knew what she was doing Forbidden fruit, but what the hell, i bit That's all it took, my fate was sealed That night the flame was lit And every night when the lights go out Pete drinks his booze and then he passes out And i hear a footstep outside my door And then i remember what i started working here for Peg and pete and me One and one and one make three Peg and pete and me One and one and one make three Now tell me what would you do if you were in my shoes? Tonight peg, we gotta stop this thing I don't know if we can, peg said "Don't worry, now pete's asleep and i've got a certain plan You know everything is in my name," she said, "And anyway i love you so very much He'll never feel a thing Just like he never woke up And after that it will be just us." Every night when the lights go out Pete drinks his booze and then he passes out And i hear a footstep outside my door And then i remember what i started working here for Peg and pete and me One and one and one make three Peg and pete and me One and one and one make three Now tell me what would you do if you were in my shoes? The next morning when i woke up peg was gone But the detective said, "son, you gotta come downtown with me 'Cause we know you killed pete dead." The jury found me guilty And sent me up for ninety-nine to life And if there's any advice i can give from this cell Never trust a rich, dead man's wife Peg and pete and me One and one and one make three Peg and pete and me One and one and one make three Now tell me what would you do if you were in my shoes?
