What Else Could I Do?

from Baron of Bilried by Bradley Herr

/

lyrics

I saw your ad up in the paper yesterday.
I thought I'd take a chance and ask you out today,
Out to the zoo.
Well, what else can I do?

We got on fine through jokes and wine at dinner time,
I asked you if you'd like to go upstairs and you said
"No, thank you."
I poured some tea for two.

How were you to know I was the one?
The one the papers said was on the run?

Later that month you said you'd like for me to meet
Your mother and your father, wouldn't that be neat?
You little shrew.
Well, what else can I do?

They came around at six, polite and right on time.
I said I'd cook and that my steak pies were sublime.
Please lock the door.
I'm not much to fall for.

How were you to know I'd brought my knives?
Or that you should be fearing for your lives?

You started screaming as so many others did.
I've been this way since I was just a little kid.
No lessons learned.
Our meeting is adjourned.

Let facts be facts, my dear. No need to misconstrue:
I killed your mother and I killed your father, too.
As I did you.
Well, what else could I do?
