Finally found a fella almost completely divine
But his vocabulary is killin' this romance of mine
We get into an intimate... situation
And then begins this Romeo's conversation
He says murder, he says, every time we kiss
He says murder, he says, at a time like this
He says murder, he says, is that the language of love
He says, solid, he says, takes me in his arms
And says, solid, he says, meaning all my charms
He says, solid, he says, is that the language of love?
He says, chick chick, you torture me
Zoom, are we livin?
I'm thinkin' of leaving him flat
He says, dig dig the jumps
The old ticker is giving
He can talk plainer than that
He says, murder, he says, every time we kiss
He says, murder, he says, keep it up like this
He says, murder, he says, in that impossible tone
Will bring on nobody's murder
But his own
He says, Jackson, he says, and my name's Marie
He says, Jackson, he says, shoot the snoot for me
He says, Jackson, he says, is that the language of love?
He says, mmmhmm, when he likes my hat
He says, tsk tsk, what the heck is that?
He says, woo hoo! he says, is that the language of love?
He says hep hep with helium
Now babe, we're cookin
And other expressions to wit
He says, we're in the groove
And the groove is good lookin
Sounds like his uppers don't fit!
He says murder,
he says, murder
I know why he says murder,
In that impossible tone.
I've told him over, and over, and over again,
That it'll be nobody else's murder,
But his own!
