Verse 3
Cicero, Lipschitz!
Now, I'm standing in the kitchen
I'm carving up the chicken for dinner
Minding my own business,
and in storms my husband

Verse 4
My sister, Veronica and I had this double act
And my husband, Charlie,
travel around with us
Now, for the last number in our act,
we did these 20 acrobatic tricks in a row
One, two, three, four, five, splits,
so I got out to get some
I come back, open the door
And there's Veronica and Charlie
doing number seventeen, the spread eagle!
Well, I was in such a state of shock
I completely blacked out,
I can't remember a thing
It wasn't until later,
when I was washing the blood off my hands,
I even knew they were dead!

And I saw him dead!
