Bang, Bang

The night was blacker than most And the air It hung like the ghost And my baby, my baby had to go My baby, was sweeter than most But my baby, he had quite a nose For the women My baby had to go The butcher was hacking up meat While the baker Was too warm from the heat Of his oven No one heard me coming The writer was lost to his lead While the lovers Were too busy in bed To discover My baby had to go [Chorus] Bang bang! Baby heard my footsteps at the Bang bang! Baby heard my fist upon the Bang bang! Bang bang! My baby was no more The children Were tucked safe and sound While the mothers Were up fretting around None the wiser My baby had to go The women Were sucking their teeth Chide the menfolk Into buying them drinks Sound familiar? My baby had to go [Chorus] Bang bang! Baby heard my footsteps at the Bang bang! Baby heard my fist upon the Bang bang! Bang bang! My baby was no more Bye bye, bye bye bye bye Bye bye bye bye Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye Bye bye, bye bye bye bye bye bye bye Bye bye bye bye Bye bye bye bye Who me? I heard not one sound I'm just passing through this ghost town If you asked me I'm sure he had it coming [Chorus] Bang bang! Baby heard my footsteps at the Bang bang! Baby heard my fist upon the Bang bang! Bang bang! Bang bang! Bang! My baby was no more
