Murder, He Says
Written by Jimmy McHugh and Frank Loesser (1942)

 Finally found a fella
 [bad word] divine
 but his vocabulary
 is killing this romance of mine

 We get into an intimate situation
 and then begins this character's conversation

 He says, murder, he says
 every time we kiss
 He says, murder, he says
 at a time like this
 He says, murder, he says
 Is that the language of love?

 He says, solid, he says
 takes me in his arms
 and says, solid, he says
 meaning all my charms
 He says, solid, he says
 Is that the language of love?

 He says, chick chick
 you torture me
 Zoom, are we livin?
 I'm thinkin' of leaving him flat

 He says, dig dig the jumps
 the old ticker is giving
 He can talk plainer than that

 He says, murder, he says
 every time I kiss
 He says, murder, he says
 keep it up like this
 and that murder he says
 in that impossible tone

 will bring on nobody's murder
 but his own

 He says, Jackson, he says
 and my name's Marie
 He says, Jackson, he says
 shoot the snoot for me
 He says, Jackson, he says
 Is that the language of love?

 He says, mmhmm
 when he likes my hat
 He says, tsk tsk tsk
 what the heck is that?
 He says, woo hoo! he says
 Is that the language of love?

 He says hep hep with helium
 now babe, we're cookin'
 another expression's too ill
 He says, we're in the groove
 and the groove is good lookin'
 Sounds like his uppers don't fit!

 He says, murder, he says
 every time we kiss
 He says, murder, he says
 keep it up like this
 and that murder he says
 in that impossible tone

 will bring on nobody's murder
 but his own
