who done it?
Singer: nilsson, harry
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
