Lyrics

There's a murderer in your town mister there were seven unsolved last year
There's a murderer in your town mister how long has he been living here
If they hang 'em all they get the guilty if they hang 'em all they cannot miss
If they hang 'em all they get the guilty been a lot of problem solved like this

There's a thief in your town mister this morning my milk was gone
There's a thief in your town mister how long has this been going on
If they hang 'em all they get the guilty..

There's a cheater in your town mister last night I saw him in a bar
There's a cheater in your town mister is that the kind of people you are
If they hang 'em all they get the guilty..

There's a hypocrite in your town mister I think I caught him in a lie
There's a hypocrite in your town mister are you gonna let that go by
If they hang 'em all they get the guilty that's what you say we ought to do
If they hang 'em all they get the guilty but remember they're gonna hang you too
If they hang 'em all they get the guilty..
