Once upon a time, there was a boy Born with a silver spoon for a toy He grew up nasty and he grew up mean He'd steal a baby's feet just to hear him scream Learn to swindle what he needed He'd take the eyes from granny unimpeded A kidney from your dad He had no conscience, could never feel bad Why, oh, why does he bleed us dry? He gets away with murder, gets away with murder! He lies, lies, lies straight into your eyes (ones he got from granny!) One of these days we're gonna hurt him, hurt him, hurt him! Scrippi-didn't doo-doo! Scrippi-didn't doo-doo! Womp, womp, womp wow! Womp, womp, womp wow! Bepem, bepem Bepem, bepem Doo-do-do, doo! Do-do-dooo! Doo-do-do-do-doo! Do-do-dooo! Oh, he's the king! We're all expected to kiss the ring Sittin' on his throne Laughin' 'bout how he made it his home Stepped on you, and he stepped on me Doesn't care if you don't agree Was born to wear the crown He's a self-appointed monarchy Why, oh, why does he bleed us dry? He gets away with murder, gets away with murder! In this one-horse town He wears the crown (ho!) Got no heart He thinks he's smart He'll steal your parts He's got no soul Swap diddly bup! Drop diddly bup! Wop bop, bop, bop bow! Wop bop, bop, bop bow! Swum-diddly-yum, diddly yum-dum diddly-yum Swum-diddly-yum, diddly yum-dum diddly-yum Wom-bo-dom bo-domb oh, yeah Thought he had it made in the shade Takin' the best parts of us with a rusty blade It's a royal work of art Searchin' for a brain to make him smart Nothin' worked as it should Heart pumped backwards and that's no good You know it served him right Thievin' around in the dark of night Sweep, deep, city ball! Sleep, deep, city ball! Sweep, deep, schlaba-dee-doo Sweep, dee yaba-dee-doo Scrum-diddly-yum-dum, diddly yum woah! Scrum-diddly-yum-dum, diddly yum woah! Woah-woah, woah-wo-wo-woah! Woah-woah, woah-wo-wo-woah! Why, why, why does he bleed us dry? He gets away with murder, gets away with murder! He lies, lies, lies straight into your eyes One of these days we're gonna hurt him, hurt him, hurt him!
