Peppermint

The block was crawling with cops
The night Ms. Lollipop
Went out for butterscotch
And got her head cut off

You'll find whodunnit slides
Down licorice alleyways
Leaving a trail of Icee slush
And we all know what they all say

When he jellyrolls on the scene
All the gumdrops scream
"Peppermint!"
But cops don't talk to gumdrops
When they buy witnesses

"Thank you for your assistance, Miss
Now let us handle this"

Your Honor, this snowman is guilty of first-degree murder
Or I'll outrun the gingerbread man
Ladies and gentlemen of Candyland
I think we've got our man

The fudge fuzz in their sugar coats
They work the scene
"We'll lick this sucker" they grunt
Through sweet-tart-rotten teeth

Then from the back of the crowd
A little gumdrop stood
And waved her fist around
And yelled as loud as she could

"We know your man
When he rolls by the gumdrops scream
His name and run away
He is a monster, Mister, mercy
Make him pay!

When he jellyrolls on the scene
All the gumdrops scream
"Peppermint!"
But cops don't talk to gumdrops
When they buy witnesses

Oh, how smart he is
Icicles leave no fingerprints

Your Honor, this snowman is guilty of first-degree murder
Or I'll outrun the gingerbread man
Ladies and gentlemen of Candyland
I think we've got our man

When he jellyrolls on the scene
All the gumdrops scream
"Peppermint!"
But cops don't talk to gumdrops
When they buy witnesses

There must have been some malice
In that old silk hat they found

Yes, Your Honor, this snowman is guilty of first-degree murder
Or I'll outrun the gingerbread man
Ladies and gentlemen of Candyland
I think we've got our man
(Peppermint)
Your Honor, this snowman is guilty of first-degree murder
Or I'll outrun the gingerbread man
(Peppermint)
Ladies and gentlemen of Candyland
I think we've got our man
