"Murder", He Says

"Murder", he says

Finally, found a fellow, almost completely divine
But his vocabulary is killing this romance of mine
He gets into an intimate situation
And then begins this character's conversation

He says, "Murder", he says
Every time we kissed, 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, he says, "Solid", he says
Meaning 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 thinking of leaving him flat
He says, "Dig, dig, the jumps, the old ticker is giving"
Now he can talk plainer than that

He says, "Murder", he says, every time we kissed
He says, "Murder", he says
Keep it up like this
"And that, Murder," he says
In that impossible tone
Will bring on nobody's murder but his own

He says, "Dig, did the groove"
Hey says, "Keep on the move"
He says, "Murder" (murder)
Murder (murder)
Murder, murder, murder, murder, that's what he says
