The criminal cried as he dropped him down
In a state of wild alarm
With a frightful frantic fearful frown
I bared my big right arm
I seized him by his little pig-tail
And on his knees fell he
As he squirmed and struggled
And gurgled and guggled
I drew my snickersnee
My snickersnee
Oh never shall I
Forget the cry
Or the shriek that shrieked he
As I gnashed my teeth
When from it's sheath
I drew my snickersnee
We know him well
He cannot tell
Untrue or groundless tales
He always tries
To utter lies
And every time he fails
He shivered and shook as he gave the sign
For the stroke he didn't deserve
When all of a sudden his eye met mine
And it seemed to brace his nerve
For he nodded his head and kissed his hand
And he whistled an air did he
As the sabre true
Cut cleanly through
His cervical vertebrae
His vertebrae
When a man's afraid
A beautiful maid
Is a cheering sight to see
And it's oh I'm glad
That moment sad
Was soothed by sight of me
Her terrible tale
You can't assail
With truth it quite agrees
Her taste exact
For faultless fact
Amounts to a disease
Now though you'd have said that head was dead
For it's owner dead was he
It stood on it's neck with a smile well-bred
And bowed three times to me
It was none of your impudent off-hand nods
But as humble as could be
For it clearly knew
The deference due
To a man of pedigree
Of pedigree
And it's oh I vow
This deathly bow
Was a touching sight to see
Though trunkless yet
It couldn't forget
The deference due to me
This haughty youth
He speaks the truth
Whenever he finds it pays
And in this case
It all took place
Exactly as he says
Exactly exactly exactly
Exactly as he says
