Harry Nilsson - Who Done It? Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • It was a rainy night and all the windows were tight
  • And there were thirteen people in the house
  • The owner and his wife, the butler and his wife
  • Cook with her knife, a couple named Smythe.
  • The Andersons were there with another strange pair
  • And the scary caretaker and me
  • The clock struck one, there was the sound of a gun
  • And I heard somebody run away.
  • And the twelve who were alive had terror in their eyes
  • And I overheard the Andersons say...
  • 'Who could have done it ?'
  • 'Who could have done it ?'
  • And I wonder where's the cook and her knife
  • 'Madam' - said Adam with his wife by his side
  • 'It was the shot we heard that took her life'.
  • The other couple named Sloan and I ran to the phone
  • To call the police but just then
  • All the power went out and we heard a great shout
  • And we knew for someone else it was the end.
  • And when the power came on, we were shocked with alarm
  • For instead of being twelve, we were ten.
  • Who could have done it?
  • Who could have done it?
  • The Andersons were such a nice pair.
  • Now the owner and his wife, both afraid for their life
  • So they hurried to the door to run away
  • But before they got there, there was a whistle through the air
  • Then another, then they both had passed away.
  • There were seven of us left now, afraid of death now
  • But I knew it wasn't me or the Sloans
  • 'Cause when the power went out and we heard the others shout
  • We were out there in the hallway on the phone.
  • That left the butler and his wife and the couple named Smythe
  • And the old scary caretaker too
  • So the Sloans and I, who were both afraid to die
  • Had to think of something quick we could do.
  • So we called the Smythes and the butler and his wife
  • And we gathered in the drawing room
  • But before we could call for the caretaker too
  • It was too late for he had met his doom.
  • It looked like poison.
  • That left five, five, five were still alive
  • The Sloans, the Smythes and myself
  • Once again the lights went out and I heard a great shout
  • From both the Smythes and the Sloans.
  • And then the lights came on again and I looked around again
  • And everybody was dead and I was alone.
  • Well, I must have passed out for the next thing I knew
  • I was awakened with my hands in chains
  • There was a man with a gun and he said: 'Don't bother, son'
  • 'You'll have plenty of time to explain'.
  • I was rushed to a car, then taken to a cell
  • And a lawyer came in and said his name
  • He said: 'I'm sure you told the truth but the truth is, my boy'
  • 'To believe in the judge would be insane'.
  • 'Now before I pass sentence on you, have you anything to say?'
  • I said: 'Are you kiddin'?'
  • I said: 'This must be a dream' - I said: 'This can't be real'
  • 'You don't believe a word that I've said'.
  • And then he looked me in the eye and said: 'Have mercy on his soul'
  • And I was hanged by the neck until dead, have mercy.
  • Hey, wait a minute, hey, stop
  • Hey, would you mind rewinding that last sentence?
  • I mean, hanged by the what?
  • Until when?
  • Hey, listen, I think you made a little, I mean I think you made a large mistake here
  • First of all, I was in Colorado having breakfast with a nun, OK?
  • What do you mean? There's nothing to get hung up about
  • I mean, you should be in here
  • Hey, you ever heard of the word appeal?
  • Well, I'm about to appeal you off that bench in a minute unless you change that decision
  • Listen, I got a lot, I mean I had a lot of friends in this town
  • Hey, I want to see my congress man.
