[Inro]
Ahhh oh, my god
Oh, my god
They shot him in the mother----ing head
[Verse 1]
I am tall and I am thin
Of an enviable height
And I've been known to be quite handsome
From a certain angle and a certain light
[Verse 2]
Well I entered into O'Malley's
Said, "O'Malley, I have a thirst"
O'Malley, he looked right through me
Said, "Some other fellow first"
[Verse 3]
I knocked on the bar and pointed
To a bottle on the shelf
Well, O'Malley walked past and scratched his ass
And I twitched and crossed myself
[Verse 4]
My hand decided that it had enough
And for a moment it slipped from view
When it returned, my hand had learned
A brand new trick or two
[Verse 5]
Well the thunder from my big black gun
Made all the glasses jangle
When I shot him, I was so handsome
It was the light, man, it was the angle
[Verse 6]
"Neighbours!" I cried, "Friends!" I screamed
I banged my fist upon the bar
I just shot old O'Malley
And my dick felt long and hard
[Verse 7]
I am the man who waits for no-one
My aim is straight and true
And I'm marked by darkness and by blood
So don't nobody move!
[Verse 8]
Well, you know those fish with the swollen lips
That clean the ocean floor
When I looked at poor O'Malley's wife
That's exactly what I saw
[Verse 9]
I jammed the barrel under her chin
And her eyes bulged just like those nasty little fish
Her head, it landed in the sink
With all the dirty dishes
[Verse 10]
And her dirty little daughter Siobhan
Who we all had a little fun with
It seemed a bit unfair that she had to be there
So I thought I'd get her over and done with
[Verse 11]
I lept upon her, punching
She stared on in disbelief
Looking like the Madonna on the church-house wall
Painted in whale's blood and banana leaf
[Verse 12]
Left hook, right hook, left hook, right
She spun round and round
I brought a mighty punch up from the floor
And I lifted her off the ground
[Verse 13]
Her head caved in like a melon
And my fists were gloved in gore
And I shot Counselor Caffrey in the back of the head
As he made a run for the door
Oh, my god
Oh, my god
He just shot him in the mother----ing head
