Let Him Dangle Elvis Costello

[Verse 1]
Bentley said to Craig, "Let him have it Chris"
They still don't know today just what he meant by this
Craig fired the pistol, but was too young to swing
So the police took Bentley and the very next thing

[Chorus]
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
Doo-doot, doo-doo-doot, doo-doo-doot doo
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
Doo-doot, doo-doo-doot, doo-doo-doot doo

[Verse 2]
Bentley had surrendered, he was under arrest
When he gave Chris Craig that fatal request
Craig shot Sidney Miles, he took Bentley's word
The prosecution claimed as they charged them with murder

[Chorus]
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
Doo-doot, doo-doo-doot, doo-doo-doot doo
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
Doo-doot, doo-doo-doot, doo-doo-doot doo
