Houdini and the Sucker Punch

The great Houdini said

I’ve had nothing but bad luck

Every letter I’ve read

Seems to trouble me so much

And everybody knows

The witch doctor is lying, you know

He saw the river froze

Then said he made it so

Eternally held back

I’m just waiting by the window

Walking with the mad

Turning any way the wind blows

Not everybody knows

What this young man is hiding below

He compliments your nose

Then steals away your clothes

The great Houdini said

I would not know how to leave you

Lying on the bed

With my arm pinned underneath you

And everybody’s heard

Just can’t remember the words

Go tell that little bird

Tell him I told you so

Everybody’s heard

Everybody’s heard

Everybody’s heard

Everybody’s heard
