The Host

Hello.
How do you do?
Please come on in
Take off your shoes

Have a seat
And stay a while
I love your clothes 
And what a smile!

I’ll make us drinks
And then we’ll chat
Just hang tight
I’ll be right back

Don’t you worry
I insist
Just relax
Now don’t resist

Have you ate at all today?
I’ll make some dinner
We’ll feast away

It’s time to eat
Please come sit down
Do you like my party gown?

I only wear this when I host
And now my dear,
I;ll make a toast

Here;s to you
My new found friend
So glad you drove down this dead end

What was that?
You have to go?
Why the hurry?
Stay for the show

Oh don’t be silly
You are my guest
After all
I brought out my best

Forget the show
Lets have a dance
Why all the fuss
Give this a chance

I will take you for a spin
After all
I took you in

There were others
In the past
Fir some reason 
They didn't last

The police had come
 and questioned me
They had no proof
 they set me free

I think it's time 
you take a nap
Drink this first
Then it’s a wrap

Lah-dah-dee
Oh, lah- dee-dum
Looks like another one is done


Oh darn,
I do believe that she is dead
I shall sleep sweet within my bed

I'll bury her with all the rest
This was fun
By far the best

It’s another sunny day
I slept so good
It's time to play

I shall dig another grave
I lost another
What can I say?

And when I’m done
From all this fun
I’ll feed the cat
Then get some sun

Oh my!
Someone is at my door
I can’t believe I get one more

Hello
How do you do?
Please come in 
Take off your shoes

Lah-dah-dee
Oh, lah-dah-dum
Homicide is so much fun!
