Final Receipt

Verse 1

She looked inside my pocket every single morning

Demanded leather bags without a proper warning

I had a bank account that was plenty tall

But she worked hard until it looked quite small

Chorus

I got her fancy rings and expensive lobster dinners

I dressed her up just like those lottery winners

I took her out the back and I shot her dead

I put some heavy lead right inside her head

I took her out the back and I shot her dead

Post-Chorus

Bye bye darling

Oh oh oh

Now she is gone

Oh oh oh

Verse 2

The bills were piling up until they reached the ceiling

Emptying my wallet was her only feeling

She wanted vacations on a tropical beach

Buying every ruby that was in her reach

Chorus

I got her fancy rings and expensive lobster dinners

I dressed her up just like those lottery winners

I took her out the back and I shot her dead

I put some heavy lead right inside her head

I took her out the back and I shot her dead

Instrumental Bridge

Verse 3

The quiet in the house feels extremely pleasant

No more buying her a diamond wedding present

She lies beneath the garden in a shallow hole

Finally I have regained some financial control

Chorus

I got her fancy rings and expensive lobster dinners

I dressed her up just like those lottery winners

I took her out the back and I shot her dead

I put some heavy lead right inside her head

I took her out the back and I shot her dead

Post-Chorus

Bye bye darling

Oh oh oh

Now she is gone

Oh oh oh

Outro

Balance in my checkbook

Peace inside my mind

Leaving all the spending far away behind

Gone forever more

Safe and sound tonight

Gone forever more

Safe and sound tonight
