The Dead Milkmen
Hangman
[Intro]
Hangman!

[Verse 1]
Is now lynch mob TV fun?
The game you knew as a kid
If you're a killer you'd better run
’cause the letters they're all hid

[Chorus]
Hangman!

[Verse 2]
Guess the death sentence phrase
Before the last letter's drawn
You'll go free with the right plays
Before the next day's dawn
Contestant number one
Killed his daughter and his wife
Could not guess "Waste not, want not"
So he lost his life

[Chorus]
Hangman!

[Verse 3]
There's a sentence on the wall
Gotta figure it out
I wish I'd studied English
‘cause my time is running out
I wish I'd studied English
'cause soon they're gonna shout
[Chorus]
Hangman!

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Outro]
Hangman!
