Jekyll And Hyde - Murder, Murder Lyrics

Newsboy:
Read about the 'ideous murder,
Profane, religious murder!

First gentleman:
The poor old bishop,
What a shock!

Street vendor:
Seen walkin' wiv 'is daughter,
A moment prior to slaughter!

Newsboy:
The shepherd tendin' to 'is flock!

Crowd:
'e died in a london slum
A slave to martyrdom
'e died without complaint!
'e should be made a saint!

'e's gone back 'ome to god!
It all seems very odd!
Why should it be,
This mystery?

Murder, murder
In the night air!
Murder, murder
It's a nightmare!
Murder, murder
It's a right scare,
Bloody murder
In the night!

Murder, murder
Makes your heart thump!
Murder, murder
Makes your nerves jump!
Murder, murder
Makes your blood pump,
Bloody murder
In the night!

Congregation:
Dona eis, requiem

Priest:
Sweet death has taken
This brave man from us!

Congregation:
Requiem aeternam

Priest:
Friends, take what comfort
That you can from us!

Congregation:
Dona eis, domine...

Hyde:
General glossop, i'm happy to inform you that you are relieved of your duties, sir. all of them!

A man:
Look at this, another murder,
Just like the other murder!
That's poor old general glossop, dead!

A boy:
Last week the bishop copped it!
The bloke what done it 'opped it!
That feller must be off 'is 'ead!

Another crowd member:
That's two in the last four days!
This killer has fancy ways!

A.fourth:
To kill outside st. paul's
Requires a lotta balls!

A.fifth:
He hates the upper class!

A.sixth:
He must be on 'is arse!

Crowd:
Who could he be?

The boy:
Don't look at me!

Crowd:
"bloody murder
In the night!"

Murder, murder
Doin' folks in
Murder, murder
Is the worst sin!
Murder, murder
Has me screamin'
"bloody murder
In the night!"

Murder, murder
Makes me blood thin!
Murder, murder
Makes me 'ead spin!
Murder, murder
Starts me drinkin'!
Bloody murder
In the night!"
In the night!"

Hyde:
Bessie, my love... you really should be more careful...wearing your real diamonds out on the street. you never know whom you might encounter!

Upper and lower crust on the street:
London has a killer on the loose!
Could be a gang!
Gotta get 'is 'ead inside a noose!
The man must hang!

Crowd:
Maybe his nerve will fail him!
They've gotta try to nail him!
They've gotta trail an' jail him,
Now!

Murder!
No matter who we're blamin'
Till they pull wot's-'is-name in,
There's gonna be one flamin'
Row!

Murder, murder
It's a curse, man!
Murder, murder
It's perverse, man!
Murder, murder
Nothing's worse than
Bloody murder
In the night!

Hyde:
Bad news from god, teddy!

First newsboy:
Read about the worst two murders !

Second newsboy:
Much worse than the first two murders!

Crowd:
That makes it murders three and four!
(variously)
They've murdered dear old bessie!
I hear it extremely messy!
And poor old archie is no more!

Woman:
They say a lot of blood and gore!

All:
That's four in the last eight days!
It's london's latest craze!

Second newsboy:
This time 'e was in perk lane!
An' 'e may come back again!

Women:
Until the killers found,
There's danger all around!

Crowd:
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?
We wish we knew!

Crowd:
Catchin' such a madman could be hard!
He'll kill!
At will!
Cos they're all so thick at scotland yard!
No brains!
No skill!

All:
He'll kill us, if we let him!
They'd better go and get him!

I know a way to net him!
How?

Murder!
No matter who we're blamin'
Till they pull wot's-'is-name in,
There's gonna be
There's gonna be
There's gonna be a flamin'
Row!

Murder, murder
Or our doorstep!
Murder, murder
So watch your step!
Murder, murder
Take one more step,
You'll be murdered
In the night!

Murder, murder
Once there's one done
Murder, murder
Can't be undone!
Murder, murder
Lives in london!
Bloody murder
In the night!
In the night!
