getting away with murder ("a little complex") - original off-broadway cast lyrics

[jitter]
will you pose for me?

[jeune]
why, jitter, show a little decorum!

[jitter]
a funny thing happened on the way to decorum

what would be the matter with the murder of a model?
if the model were a moron in the middle of a muddle?
and the murderer was manic
and admittedly demented
but then, later, he repented
when they tried to circ-mvent it
even after he -ssented
that he meant it?

the art of retribution
depends on
execution

shall i use a knife?
no, not on your life
to slash in a p-ssion
is so out of fashion

shall i use a gun?
fun, but overdone
to shoot doesn’t suit her
this suitor’s astuter

would it be too grim
to tear her limb from limb?
alarming, yet charming
and truly
disarming!

shall i use a rope?
shoot her up with dope?
hemlock is easy
but too socrates-y

hats off
to decapitation!
she’ll be dead
and i’ll get ahead
i’ll try not to gloat
as my knife slits her throat
and now she’ll be rudely
subdued

[the “doorbell” rings]

i’m screwed!
