Getting Away With Murder (”A Little Complex”) lyrics

by

Original Off-Broadway Cast


[Jitter]
Will you pose for me?

[Jeune]
Why, Jitter, show a little decorum!

[Jitter]
A funny thing happened on the way to decorum

What would be the matter with the murder of a model?
If the model were a moron in the middle of a muddle?
And the murderer was manic
And admittedly demented
But then, later, he repented
When they tried to circ*mvent it
Even after he assented
That he meant it?

The art of retribution
Depends on
Execution

Shall I use a knife?
No, not on your life
To slash in a passion
Is so out of fashion

Shall I use a gun?
Fun, but overdone
To shoot doesn't suit her
This suitor's astuter

Would it be too grim
To tear her limb from limb?
Alarming, yet charming
And truly
Disarming!

Shall I use a rope?
Shoot her up with dope?
Hemlock is easy
But too Socrates-y

Hats off
To decapitation!
She'll be dead
And I'll get ahead
I'll try not to gloat
As my knife slits her throat
And now she'll be rudely
Subdued

[The "doorbell" rings]

I'm screwed!
