"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
