Murder By Numbers - Frank Zappa

Once that you’ve decided on a killing

First you make a stone of your heart

If you find that your hands are still willing

Then you can turn a murder into art

There really isn’t any need for bloodshed

You just do it with a little more finesse

If you can slip a tablet into someone’s coffee

Then it avoids an awful lot of mess because

It’s murder by numbers one two three

It’s as easy to learn as your ABC

Murder by numbers one two three

It’s as easy to learn as your ABC

Now if you have a taste for this experience

And you’re flushed with your very first success

Then you must try a twosome or a threesome

And you’ll find your conscience bothers you much less

Because a murder is like anything you take to

It’s a habit-forming need for more and more

You can bump off every member of your family

And anybody else you find a bore

Because it’s murder by numbers one two three

It’s as easy to learn as your ABC

Murder by numbers one two three

It’s as easy to learn as your ABC

I said murder by numbers one two three

It’s as easy to learn as your ABC

Murder by numbers one two three

It’s as easy to learn as your ABC
