Puttin' On The Ritz

His heart was black as coal a cantankerous soul
So cruel and so unkind 
He was ever so clever but never would ever
Reveal what's on his mind 

It was commonly known was a cad fully grown 
And a savage from birth
His only decision and only one vision 
Was to ravage the Earth 

Then one night in a dream the most devilish scheme
Ever devised by man
On a day in December a day we'd remember 
He hatched his evil plan

With his hatred alive he then took a long drive
Down to the hotel Ritz
Soon his plan implemented a bomb he invented 
That would blow it to bits

As a matter of fact he thought the hotel was packed
But it was empty instead 
By the light of the moon the bomb blew up way too soon
And brought it down on his head

The news got the story it was ever so gory
But we all know the rest 
No longer no trouble lied dead in the rubble
The hotels only guest
