Lyrics

>So sorry to interrupt such a festive occation,<
 >But I am under strickt instructions to arrest you - <
 >for murder!<
 >Murder?<
 Stop! Wait! What?!
 Well I didn't kill Adelbert D'Ysquith
 Though that certainly was my intent
 Rather hard to digest
 that I could be arrested
 for something that I only meant.
 And it couldn't be poor cousin Asquith
 for he graciously died on his own
 Was that hole in the ice
 just a bit too precise,
 was my prescence at Chiselmere known?
 >Muder, did you say?<
 >I'm afraid so, your lordship.<
 Stop! Wait! When?!
 I shall doubt I was seen in the harbor
 Lady Hyacinth fell in so fast
 As for Salome's end
 all suspicion would send
 them at once to that backstabbing cast!
 did the beestings reveal my deception?
 was I seen at the weightlifting hall?
 How rude to intrude on this lovely reception
 for I am the Earl after all.
 Yes I am the Earl after all!
 Though It's come, I concede, at a cost
 But where was my blunder
 my weakness, I wonder
 is all of it now to be lost?
 is all of it now to be lost?
 >Murdering... whom?<
 >Lord Adlebert D'Ysquith, Eight Earl of Highhurst!<
 Stop! Wait! Who?!
 For the murder of Adlebert D'Ysquith
 were there ever a farce, this is it
 I am almost amused
 I should stand here accused
 of a murder I didn't commit
 >But surely, the Earl died of a heartattack?<
 >No, your lordship, it WAS foul play.<
 Of course, I should like to inquire
 by what method he happened to die
 but more to the point
 what events now conspire
 to lead them to think it was I!
 I've dispatched half a dozen,
 each one a cousin
 all of them quite by design.
 It is not a defense,
 it just makes no sense!
 His murder was not one of mine!
