Bang Bang

Bang Bang
The night was blacker than most
And the air
It hung like the ghost
And my baby, my baby had to go
My baby, was sweeter than most
But my baby, he had quite a nose
For the women
My baby had to go

The butcher was hacking up meat
While the baker
Was too warm from the heat
Of his oven
No one heard me coming
The writer was lost to his lead
While the lovers
Were too busy in bed
To discover
My baby had to go
Bang bang!
Baby heard my footsteps at the
Bang bang!
Baby heard my fist upon the
Bang bang!
Bang bang!
My baby was no more
The children
Were tucked safe and sound
While the mothers
Were up fretting around
None the wiser
My baby had to go
The women
Were sucking their teeth
Chide the menfolk
Into buying them drinks
Sound familiar?
My baby had to go
Bang bang!
Baby heard my footsteps at the
Bang bang!
Baby heard my fist upon the
Bang bang!
Bang bang!
My baby was no more

Bye bye, bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye
Who me?
I heard not one sound
I'm just passing through this ghost town
If you asked me
I'm sure he had it coming
Bang bang!
Baby heard my footsteps at the
Bang bang!
Baby heard my fist upon the
Bang bang!
Bang bang!
Bang bang!
Bang!
My baby was no more
