Текст песни Lizzie Borden

Yesterday in old Fall River

Mr. Andrew Borden died

And he got his daughter, Lizzie

On a charge of homicide

Some folks say she didn't do it

And others say of course she did

But they all agree, Miss Lizzie B

Was a problem kinda kid

'Cause you can't chop your

Papa up in Massachausetts

Not even if it's planned

As a surprise (a surprise)

No, you can't chop your

Papa up in Massachausetts

You know how neighbors love to criticize

Well, she got him on the sofa

Where he'd gone to take a snooze

And I hope he went to Heaven

'Cause he wasn't wearing shoes

Lizzie kinda rearranged him

With a hatchet so they say

Then she got her mother

In that same old fashioned way

But you can't chop your

Mama up in Massachausettes

Not even if you're tired of

Her cuisine (her cuisine)

No can't chop your mama up in Massachausetts

You know it's almost sure to cause a scene

Well, they really kept her

Hopping on that busy afternoon

With both down and upstairs chopping

While she hummed a ragtime tune

They really made her hustle

And when all was said and done

She'd removed her mother's bustle

When she wasn't wearing one

Now can't chop your

Mama up in MassachusettsChad Mitchell Trio - Lizzie Borden - http://ru.motolyrics.com/chad-mitchell-trio/lizzie-borden-lyrics.html

And then blame all the damage

On the mice (on the mice)

No, you can't chop your

Mama up in Massachausetts

That sort of thing just isn't very nice

Now it wasn't done for pleasure

And it wasn't done for spite

And it wasn't done because

The lady wasn't very bright

She'd always done the slightest thing

That mom and papa bid

They said, Lizzie, cut it out

So that's exactly what she did

But you can't chop your

Papa up in Massachausetts

And then get dressed

And go out for a walk

No, you can't chop your

Papa up in Massachausetts

Massachausetts is a far cry

From New York

You can't chop your

Papa up in Massachausetts

Shut the door and lock and latch it

Here comes Lizzie with a brand new hatchet

You can't chop your

Papa up in Massachausetts

Such a snob I've heard it said

She met her pa and cut him dead

You can't chop your

Papa up in Massachausetts

Jump like a fish

Jump like a porpoise

All join hands and habeas corpus

You can't chop your

Papa up in Massachausetts

Massachausetts is a far cry

From New York
