Dm 
Am 
don't  (D minor) touch me you  (A minor) brute
E 
Am 
 (E major) Use delirium  (A minor) for  your tube.
Sam shovels in a hovel,
he must grovel for a clue.
I love it, I love it, I rally, rally do.
E 
Am 
 (E major) Charlotte Helms  (A minor) will give his answer,
E

interrupted  (E major) by  (C major) the sponsor.

 (C major) When  (B major) it's time for inner stankum,
E 
I go  (E major) underneath my bed.
Am 
Don't  (A minor) shoot me, Biggs, the stoolie,
as they put him through the mill.
I'll shoot you, I'll shoot you.
Seriously, I will.
E 
The girl he  (E major) tries to take
Am 
and then we have a station  (A minor) break.

Come  (D minor) on,  baby,  (E major) come to me.
Boing, boing, boing.

F# 
He's  (F sharp major) not breathing,
but how can he, he's dead.
G 
He's  (G major) dead!
Why this is a job for Superman,
or Hopalong Cavity,
G# 
E 
C# 
 (G sharp major) or  (E major) Jack Headstrong, the all  (C sharp major) -American boy,
G# 
 (G sharp major) or Jerry Lewis.
E 
 (E major) But I don't scare easily, not me,
F# 
I'm too frightened  (F sharp major) to be scared.
I'll find the killer, I'll
search the apartment,
G 
aha,  (G major) just as I thought,
three shoes under the bed.
G# 
 (G sharp major) Well, that's logical
for a man with three feet.
Ha ha ha! But I have it now, Inspector!
C# 
 (C sharp major) I can even kill a lawyer!
D 
C# 
D 
Am 
 (D major) His  (C sharp major) name is...  (D major)  (A minor) Pain less Joel,
do ya, darlin'?
Dm 
My  (D minor) flesh begins to creep
G 
C 
and then my  (G major) skin begins to crawl.  (C major) 
E 
B 
 (E major) You'd think I  (B major) was a wind
E 
the way I  (E major) wiggle down the hall.
Am 
I  (A minor) love a murder mystery upon the radio.
I love it. I love it.
I really love it so.
E 
Am 
I  (E major) love it when I'm listening  (A minor) late at night
and a murderer's stalking a heroine.
E 
 (E major) And a hero is stalking a murderer
F# 
and a private eye is stalking a  (F sharp major) hero
And the cops are stalking the private eye
G 
And they're coming in closer  (G major) and closer
Surely but closer and surely
E 
G# 
They're  (E major) coming  (G sharp major) out of the radio
C# 
E 
G# 
Now  (C sharp major)  (E major) they're stalk (G sharp major) ing me
E 
C# 
 (E major) What  (C sharp major) have I done?
I was only listening to the radio
Now they're throwing
E 
toothpaste at  (E major) me
They're coming closer and closer
And I don't know the conjunctive
moods of anyone
That may be based on the fact
that other people
They say they're fat
Where else I can spend you?
And certainly not the one in jail
I'm not well enough to know
that any health may say I'm wrong
And I feel that I must stay here now
No one else will ever know
E 
the fact I wish I was dead.  (E major) 
Bm 
E 
But I  (B minor) love a murder  (E major) mystery!
Am 
 (A minor)
