Kill them Yes hang them all | B |

And we're all agreed fiends should be sent | D |
To a place that's hot | E |

They were fiends too of themselves | F |
They delighted in it | G |
It's all their fault their own fault | H |
Don't listen a minute | I |

Don't let anyone talk | J |
About 'fatality ' 'lot ' | - |
That sort of talk excuse us | K |
Is just damned rot | E |

You and I p'raps are what we're made | L |
If I'm dying of phthisis | K |
It's because my father passed on | M |
To me what the price is | K |

Come from just the same Cause | K |
Why these idiots know nothing | T |
Of facts social laws | K |

Kill them then Hang them all | B |
We like God must be just | W |
It was all their own faults | K |
Not ours Dust to dust | W |
