lyrics

Old Sam Heller he’s a ham seller
The kind-hearted butcher to all the city dwellers
He’s well versed in David Allen Coe
And he likes to read Edgar Allan Poe
As he cranks Jeff Beck's record “Blow By Blow”
Those are the facts
What more do you need to know?

Sweet Molly Baker the local undertaker
Her post mortem prices are fair but won’t break ya
She likes to sing opera all alone
She never lets anyone hear her siren song
You need Sigmund Freud to diagnose what went wrong
Don’t stand in silence
You might as well sing along

There’s been a murder in this town
The people are talking
The killers’ spreading doubt
The gumshoe sleuth is gonna find out how it all went down
Collecting clues to make his mama proud

Young Martha Spicer the waitress at the diner
Slinging breakfast to all the village criers
The Hollywood hills is where she wants to go
Staring in a syndicated T.V. show
Will she make it?
Hey man, you never know
She’s getting one step closer with every served up of Joe

There’s been a murder in this town
The people are talking
The killers’ spreading doubt
The gumshoe sleuth is gonna find out how it all went down
Collecting clues to make his mama proud

Unveil the devil that hides behind their cheap disguise
Don’t let the devil get away with this insidious crime

Mr. Marty Asher the strange haberdasher
The rumors are true he hails from Alaska
He retired from the salmon fishery
To become a mad hatter in the haberdashery
He’s getting one step closer with every drop of mercury
His eyes look normal but deep down he’s going crazy

There’s been a murder in this town
The people are talking
The killers’ spreading doubt
The gumshoe sleuth is gonna find out how it all went down
Collecting clues to make his mama proud
