verse 1
Attend the tale of Maxwell Roth, he sought the footlights like a moth
He opted to collaborate with a hooded reprobate
The Blighter and Assassin made a deadly double bill
Jokes, jokes, jokes, make 'em laugh until they choke
Fairly slay 'em, in the aisles, maidens fair and princes charming
Thrills, thrills, thrills, dashing feats and bloody spills
And I guarantee you'll never see the ending coming
verse 2
The curtain rose, the scene was set, they danced a murderous duet
And much deserving blood was let up to
The scene wherein they disagreed on who should live and who should bleed and
Maxwell Roth he then received a very bad review
Jokes, jokes, jokes, and there's daggers and there's cloaks
But behind the scenes the leading players differ on the plot
Laugh, laugh, laugh, at the dandy's new red scarf
Now eight shows a week to Beelzebub is his eternal lot
Jokes, jokes, jokes, make 'em laugh until they choke
Fairly slay 'em, in the aisles, maidens fair and princes charming
Thrills, thrills, thrills, dashing feats and bloody spills
And I guarantee you'll never see the ending coming
