Now and then I see my aunts who live together.
Across the graveyard lived a gal who caught my eye.
Thought that marriage wasn't right for me,
And I praised bachelorhood quite publicly.
I fell in love, and she's a Brooklyn pastor's daughter.

Seems the Brewster family has hereditary madness--
Like Teddy charging up the stairs, always the stairs.
But when I found your latest lonely gent's
Body hidden in the window's ledge
I must admit that I was stunned--and bowled over.

But you didn't have to bump them off;
Tell me everything that happened but that it was nothing.
Those old men didn't need your love;
Now you've killed eleven strangers with your poisoned cup.
No they mustn't go and snoop below;
You should sign commitment papers and then join your nephew.
It'd be O.K. to leave them though:
Now they're just some bodies that you barely know.

Now they're just some bodies that you barely know.
Now they're just some bodies that you barely know.

Now and then I think of all the times you've looked me over.
Heading to Niagara Falls to hit the sack and have some fun.
Oh Morty, it’s our wedding day--
I can't underdstand this long delay.
You told the cabbie we would go,
But I end up nearly strangled by a brother whom you used to know!

But you didn't have to bump them off;
Tell me everything that happened but that it was nothing.
Those old men didn't need your love;
Now you've killed eleven strangers with your poisoned cup.
No they mustn't go and snoop below;
You should sign commitment papers and then join your nephew.
It'd be O.K. to leave them though:
Now they're just some bodies that you barely know.

Some bodies
You barely know
Some bodies
Now they're just some bodies that you barely know.

Some bodies
You barely know
Some bodies
Now they're just some bodies that you barely know.

You barely know
That you barely know
You barely know
Some bodies...
