(Repeat verse and refrain)

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

Maybe you're lonely, 
And only want a little company, 
But keep your recipes 
For the rats to eat, 
And may they rest in peace with coffee 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.

(Refrain)

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.

With your hemlock on the rocks. 
"Noch ein Glas, mein Liebchen?"
With your hemlock on the rocks. 
"Es schmeckt wunderbahr!"*
With your hemlock on the rocks. 
"Und ???"
