Down in ze cellar
You're getting into making poison
You slipped some on ze side
Into my glass of wine
And I don't want any coffee ee-hee homeground

Offer me a chocolate
No thank you, spoil my diet, know your game!
But tell me just how come
They smell of bitter almonds?
It's a no-no to your coffee ee-hee homeground

Pictures of Crippin
Lipstick-smeared
Torn wallpaper
Have the walls got ears here?

Well you won't get me with your belladonna
In the coffee
And you won't get me with your arsenic
In the pot of tea
And you won't get me in a hole to rot
With your hemlock on the rocks

Where are ze plumbers
Who went a-missing here on Monday?
There was a tall man
With his companion
And I bet you gave them coffee ee-hee homeground

Maybe you're lonely
And only vant a little company
But keep your recipes
For ze rats to eat
And may zey rest in peace with coffee ee-hee homeground

Well you won't get me with your belladonna
In the coffee
And you won't get me with your arsenic
In the pot of tea
And you won't put me in a six-foot plot
With your hemlock on the rocks

With your hemlock on the rocks

Noch ein Glas, mein Liebchen?
With your hemlock on the rocks
Ah with your hemlock on the rocks
Es schmeckt wunderbahr!
With your hemlock on the rocks
