A moment prior to slaughter !

A slave to martyrdom-

It all seems very odd !-
Why should it be,
This mystery ?-

Murder, murder-
In the night air !
Murder, murder-
It's a nightmare !
Murder, murder-
It's a right scare,
Bloody murder
In the night !

Makes your heart thump !
Murder, murder-
Makes your nerves jump !
Murder, murder-
Makes your blood pump !
Bloody murder
In the night !

[Hyde]
Bessie, my love... you really should be more careful... wearing your real diamonds out on the street. You never know whom you might encounter !

[Upper and lower crust on the street]
London has a killer on the loose !
Could be a gang !
Gotta get 'is 'ead inside a noose !
The man must hang

[Crowd]
Maybe his nerve will fail him !-
They've gotta try to nail him !-
They've gotta trail an' jail him,
Now !

Murder !
No matter who we're blamin'
Till they pull wots 'is name in,
There's gonna be one flamin'
Row !

Murder, murder-
It's a curse, man !
Murder, murder-
It's perverse, man !
Murder, murder-
Nothing's worse than
Bloody murder
In the night !

And poor old Archie is no more !-

[Women]
They say a lot of blood and gore !

It's London's latest craze !

[Second newsboy]
This time 'e was in park lane !
An 'e may come back again !

[Women]
Until the killer's found
There's danger all around !

[Crowd]
What can we do ?
What can we do ?
What can we do ?
We wish we knew !

[Crowd]
Catchin' such a madman could be hard !-
He'll kill !-
At will !-
Cos they're all so thick at Scotland Yard !-
No brains !-
No skill !-

[All]
He'll kill us, if we let him !
They'd better go and get him !

I know a way to net him !-
How ?

Murder, murder
