Swing 'em High

The Gigolo, the Gigolo is charging twice the price
To the priest in holy orders who lives a life of vice
He pleads for mercy, God says no Swing 'em high, swing 'em low
The old lady’s savings time do erode
She can’t pay for the heating, off the heating goes
She pleads for mercy, God says no Swing 'em high, swing 'em low
The body snatcher’s got no bodies to sell
It leads him, it leads him to a life of hell
He pleads for mercy, God says no Swing 'em high, swing 'em low
Swing 'em high, swing 'em low
Swing 'em high, swing 'em low
Swing 'em high, swing 'em low
Swing 'em high, swing 'em low
Well, the Gigolo dies at the age of 43
Of a muscle wasting disease
Pleads for mercy, God says no Swing 'em high, swing 'em low
And the body snatcher dies at an early age
And the old lady’s pneumonia did rage
Pleaded for mercy, God said no Swing 'em high, swing 'em low
And the priest died of syphilis
He died in pain
He went to God, he tried to explain
He pleaded for mercy, God said no Swing 'em high, swing 'em low
Swing 'em high, swing 'em low
Swing 'em high, swing 'em low
Swing 'em high, swing 'em low
Swing 'em high, swing 'em low
