Hang the bastard, hang him high
Hoist his body to the sky
It's as nice as a day can be
Won't you come to the hanging with me?
Hang the bastard, hang him high
Hoist his body to the sky
It's as nice as a day can be
Won't you come to the hanging with me?
Hang the bastard, hang him well
Send his sorry soul to hell
When his neckbone snaps, we'll know
That the cannibal won't be killing anymore
His face will turn red, then purple, then blue
We'll watch from up here, to get a good view
And when his eyes bug out we'll know
It's the end of him and the end of the show
So hang the bastard, hang him with cheer
We'll make some hot dogs and drink a few beers
And when his tongue rolls out we'll know
It's the end of the show and we all can go home
But not till we hang the bastard, hang him here
The most exciting thing this town has seen in years
When his body stops jerking, we'll know
It's the end of him (it's the end of him)
It's the end of him (and the end of the show)
♪
So hang the bastard, hang him high
Kiss his guilty butt goodbye
It's as nice as a day can be
Won't you come to the hanging with me
His veins will pop out all over his head
We'll tickle his armpits, to make sure he's dead
And when his tongue rolls out, we'll know
It's the end of him and we all can go home
But not till we hang the bastard, hang him high
Hoist his body to the sky
And when his body stops jerking, we'll know
It's the end of him (it's the end of him)
It's the end of him (let's get on with the show)
