Luther whispered to Skruntchstein, "Time we begun
F     F~Am       Dm         C        C/B    Bb  E
He'll be sitting over there with his head undone
Am              Am/G          D             D/E#
If he whines or says 'Oh no', show him some fun
F  F~Am     Dm
We know him inside out
CC/E      Bb F  CC/E        Bb  E
Tuppence a ton - tuppence a ton"

Skruntchstein said to his right hand man, "Better load your gun
But make it look like candy-bar, in case he starts to run
And stick around with the spider's web, when the doing's done
We know him inside out
Tuppence a ton - tuppence a ton"

  (instrumental verse with a piano solo)

Right hand man took his bullwhip out and screamed for the nineteenth son
Who suffled in with his shirt all torn and his pants undone
"Get over here and lie right down, I'll show you what's to be done
We know you inside out
Tuppence a ton - tuppence a ton"

Nineteenth son screamed with all his might as the cartwheel spun
The right-hand man made the treadmill grind 'til it started to hum
"Let me out, I'll pay my dues, just name your sum"
We know you kind inside out
Tuppence a ton - tuppence a ton"

  (instrumental / fade out)
