How Would You Like To Be Murdered?
How would you like to be
murdered?
How would you like to be murdered?
Have you thought about it at all?
Would you care to be hacked to death in a bath
Or gunned down in a shopping mall?
Or is poison a little more your cup of tea
Do you yearn to be stabbed in the back?
Or buried alive in a woodland grave
Wrapped in a garbage sack?
Would you like to be skewered by a Samurai sword?
The Japanese do it with pride
But if that doesn’t tickle your fancy
Then seek out assassins worldwide
A German might wish to build you a cellar
And keep you there, hidden for a year
Cut bits off you, fry them for dinner
Wash you down with Bavarian beer
The British would lack such pre-meditation
And would not have a motive at all
Instead, staggering, mindlessly drunk from a pub
They would beat you to death in a brawl
The Yanks might decline from shooting you dead
‘No way..’ they would say ‘..go to Hell!’
But they’d gladly drop bombs on your city or town
And take out your neighbours as well
The Swiss I am told are terribly keen
To snuff you out for a price
Tell them you’re down on your luck and depressed
And I’m sure they’ll bag you up nice
How would I like to be murdered?
I’ve thought about it a lot
The very idea of being snuffed out
Makes me wonderfully horny and hot
Who wants to be eaten by crocodiles?
Or die making love to their aunt?
Who would ever think that was arousing?
I, for the life of me, can’t
Some yearn to be horribly, tragically killed
Others might not be so keen
Like an innocent child who steps on a mine
And is blown to a smithereen
Yet most of us pleasure ourselves with the thought
Of a wake, and the tears that are shed
By our selfish, remorseful, dearest of friends
As we lie in our coffins, dead
If my death wasn’t splashed across the front page
Then it really wouldn’t be fun
I would die for a three minute silence
But happily settle for one
