The Lyrics
It’s an embellished true—
The falsehood kind.
The guy said that his lover slew
But he’s lyin’,
Flat-out lyin’.
It was he who brandished
The iron. . .brought it down
On hubby’s head—bashed it—
And in a bath of blood was his crown
Now what he’s tellin’ you
Is just a line,
Some line.
It’s he who
Really slew
The dude who
Hitched the shrew; out she’s found.
He runs out there
On the stage, but the
Curtain comes down
And squeezes
The charming fellow who
Had done the crime.
The falsehood kind.
The guy said that his lover slew
But he’s lyin’,
Flat-out lyin’.
It was he who brandished
The iron. . .brought it down
On hubby’s head—bashed it—
And in a bath of blood was his crown
Now what he’s tellin’ you
Is just a line,
Some line.
It’s he who
Really slew
The dude who
Hitched the shrew; out she’s found.
He runs out there
On the stage, but the
Curtain comes down
And squeezes
The charming fellow who
Had done the crime.
