I thought I heard a chainsaw

rather late last night

I woke this mornin' and I knew I was right

I got the cut-in-half blues

well the last thing I saw was the big long saw

I got the cut-in-half blues

I knew we were in trouble

I knew she lost her head

when she started bringin' all those power tools
to bed

I got the cut-in-half blues

well the last thing I saw was the big long saw

I got the cut-in-half blues

(little beck skat riff)

I'm layin' in my grave

all I do is grunt

cause the undertaker got all mixed up

and put my ass in the front

I got the cut-in-half blues

well the last thing I saw was the big long saw

I got the cut-in-half blues (achoo!)
