Let me tell ya a story that's a little bit gory

About a woman and her cheating man

She believed in the Glory of Love

And the cheating she just would not stand

He came home one night to a terrible fight

Because he smelled of anothers perfume

Darling he said you know that I love you

More than a born again Jew

Theres a bullet in the mattress

You can hear it go ring a ding ding ding

Theres a bullet in the mattress

This time I wanna hear ya sing

La di da da da lot da da da

Da da lot da da da da da

La di da da da lot da da da

Da da lot da da da di da

La di da da la lot dot da da

da da lot do da da di da

La di da do la lot dot da da

Lot da da da di da

He had a key for the house down by the River he made for her

He liked to be treated just like a king

And his wife to be treated like a whore

She wanted sleep and he wanted love

And for that she wanted him dead

She rolled him over and when it was over

Shot him in the back of the head

Theres a bullet in the mattress

You can hear it go ring a ding ding ding

Theres a bullet in the mattress

This time I wanna hear ya sing

La di da da da lot da da da

Da da lot da da da da da

La di da da da lot da da da

Da da lot da da da di da

La di da da la lot dot da da

da da lot do da da di da

La di da do la lot dot da da

Lot da da da di da

Theres a bullet in the mattress

I seen it there myself

Theres a bullet in the mattress

I seen it there myself

Theres a bullet in the mattress

I seen it there myself

Theres a bullet in the mattress

I seen it there myself

Theres a bullet in the mattress

I seen it there myself
