Tie the rope Pull it tight Make sure the knot is placed just right Don't matter if he's young or old Just string him on up to that damn scaffold Been a killer of a day Killing all day They come but never stay I'll send em on their way Sharpen the blade Tough and clean Make sure the fall is swift and mean Don't matter where he's going or where he's been Just bend him on down under that guillotine Been a killer of a day Killing all day They come but never stay I'll send em on their way Push the button, flick the switch Pull the lever and that's it When he comes home, never says a word But every night before bedtime he prays to the lord Don't know if anyone is answering his prayers But there's killing in the morning and he'll be there Been a killer of a day Killing all day Been a killer of a day Killing all day Been a killer of a day Killing all day They come but never stay He'll send em on their way Push the button, flick the switch Pull the lever and that's it
