The Lyrics
What was he tellin’ to
That priest so fine?
A bump-off is what he did do.
But the man’s crime
Means he’d do time.
So the priest won’t land him
In jail; he lays down
The law and won’t hand him
Over to the cops, and then he’s found
Guilty as hell; he’ll do
Instead the time
For crime.
Cop Larrue
Says, “Man you
Know you’ll do
A whole slew in hoosegow!”
Life isn’t fair—
Then the priest’s sweetie
Astounds a crowd
By screaming:
“My husband, Keller, you
Fools, did the crime!
That priest so fine?
A bump-off is what he did do.
But the man’s crime
Means he’d do time.
So the priest won’t land him
In jail; he lays down
The law and won’t hand him
Over to the cops, and then he’s found
Guilty as hell; he’ll do
Instead the time
For crime.
Cop Larrue
Says, “Man you
Know you’ll do
A whole slew in hoosegow!”
Life isn’t fair—
Then the priest’s sweetie
Astounds a crowd
By screaming:
“My husband, Keller, you
Fools, did the crime!
