[Verse 1]
Well, the night was deep and the night was dark
And I was at the old dancehall on the edge of town
Some big ceremony was going down
Well, dancers writhed and squirmed and then
Came apart and then writhed again
Like squirming flies on a pin
In the heat and in the din, in the heat and in the din
And I fell to thinking about brand new wife of mad John Finn
[Verse 2]
Well, a midnight came and a clock did strike
And in she came, did John Finn's wife
With legs like scissors and butcher's knives
Tattooed breasts and flaming eyes
And a crimson carnation in her teeth
Carving her way through the dance floor
And I'm standing over by the bandstand
Every eye gaping on John Finn's wife
Every eye gaping on John Finn's wife
[Verse 3]
Now, John Finn's wife was something of a mystery
In a town where to share a sworn secret was a solemn duty
I had brass knuckles and a bolo knife
Over near the bandstand with John Finn's wife
She got perfumed breasts and raven hair
Sprinkled with wedding confettis
And a gang of garrotters were all giving me stares
Armed, as they were, with machetes
Well, the night through the window was full of lights
A winking and a watching at John Finns' wife
A winking and a watching at John Finns' wife
Well, the night was deep and the night was dark
And I was at the old dancehall on the edge of town
Some big ceremony was going down
Well, dancers writhed and squirmed and then
Came apart and then writhed again
Like squirming flies on a pin
In the heat and in the din, in the heat and in the din
And I fell to thinking about brand new wife of mad John Finn
[Verse 2]
Well, a midnight came and a clock did strike
And in she came, did John Finn's wife
With legs like scissors and butcher's knives
Tattooed breasts and flaming eyes
And a crimson carnation in her teeth
Carving her way through the dance floor
And I'm standing over by the bandstand
Every eye gaping on John Finn's wife
Every eye gaping on John Finn's wife
[Verse 3]
Now, John Finn's wife was something of a mystery
In a town where to share a sworn secret was a solemn duty
I had brass knuckles and a bolo knife
Over near the bandstand with John Finn's wife

Sprinkled with wedding confettis

A winking and a watching at John Finns' wife
A winking and a watching at John Finns' wife
