Switchblade, switchblade my lovely friend
 I held you so close we two till the bitter end
 One pierce one cut one was one too much
 For you my love I offer my blood

 Pen knife, pen knife C’mon all cheer
 For the words we sing conjures tears
 One word, a mutter, with such restrain
 For me my love scribe me your pain

 Stiletto, my stiletto
 Will I, may I see you again tomorrow?
 One on one: we two in your room
 We need not be bride or groom

 One pierce one cut one was one too much
 For you my love I offer my blood
