Oh, they're hanging Throttlebottom in the morning!
Oh, they're hanging Throttlebottom in the morning!
Oh, Nine o'clock's too soon!
They might have waited 'til noon!
But they're hanging Throttlebottom in the morning!
Oh, they're hanging the committee in the morning!
Oh, they're hanging the committee in the morning!
We hope they've had their brunch
'Cause they'll be missing at lunch!
Oh, they're hanging the committee in the morning!
Sing "Hallelujah!"
We hope St. Petеr treats 'em well!
Sing "Hallеlujah!"
Ring out that golden bell!
Sing "Hallelujah!"
They'll soon be waving through the sky!
Sing "Hallelujah!"
And "Goodbye!"
Oh, they're hanging the dictator in the morning!
Oh, they're hanging the dictator in the morning!
He's proved himself a bust!
So dust returns to dust!
And they're hanging the dictator in the morn!
Oh, they're hanging the dictator in the morn!
Oh, they're hanging Throttlebottom in the morning!
Oh, they're hanging Throttlebottom in the morning!
Oh, Nine o'clock's too soon!
They might have waited 'til noon!
But they're hanging Throttlebottom in the morning!
Oh, they're hanging the committee in the morning!
Oh, they're hanging the committee in the morning!
We hope they've had their brunch
'Cause they'll be missing at lunch!
Oh, they're hanging the committee in the morning!
Sing "Hallelujah!"
We hope St. Petеr treats 'em well!
Sing "Hallеlujah!"
Ring out that golden bell!
Sing "Hallelujah!"
They'll soon be waving through the sky!
Sing "Hallelujah!"
And "Goodbye!"
Oh, they're hanging the dictator in the morning!
Oh, they're hanging the dictator in the morning!
He's proved himself a bust!
So dust returns to dust!
And they're hanging the dictator in the morn!
Oh, they're hanging the dictator in the morn!
