The Tiger Lillies - Kick A Baby
[Verse 1]
C
When I’m tired of all the murder
And I’m tired of all the rape
G
And all the little children
Whose necks I do break
[Chorus]
C
That’s when I satisfy
What I hold most dear
G7
I kick a little baby
Or maybe an old lady
C7
I'll kick a little baby down the stairs
[Verse 2]
Am
Sneak up behind them
Dm
Like a hunter stalks his pray
Am
Kick 'em down the stairs
Dm G7
And go hip-hip-hip hurray
N.C.
Hurray, hurray, hurray
[Verse 3]
C
When I’m tired of deflowering
Vestal virgin nuns
G
And sticking red hot pokers
Up the local choir boys’ bums
[Chorus]
C
That’s when I satisfy
What I hold most dear
G7
I kick a little baby
Or maybe an old lady
C Am
I kick a little baby down the stairs
[Verse 4]
Dm
I like to hear their little bones
Crack
Am
And their heads upon the stairway
Dm
Going thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack
Thwack
[Verse 5]
C
Well, you might think I’m sick
G7
You might think I’m ill
That I should be locked up
And given lots of pills
C
But frankly, frankly I don’t care
[Outro]
G7
I’ll kick a little baby or maybe an old lady
C
I’ll kick a little baby down the stairs, oh yeah
[Verse 1]
C
When I’m tired of all the murder
