One, Two, One, Two, Three, Four
Ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da
We watched it all, in disbelief
At the train station on Christmas Eve
A tragic tale, a gruesome scene
A bitter end for the chief of police
It was a blessing and a curse
Don't get me wrong
It could be worse
When you wake to find
The devil where you sleep
Sounds like you got your money's worth
Turns out the chief was on the take
Battled demons no honest man could shake
And they made demands he could not fulfill
Then he got caught with his hand in the till
It was a blessing and a curse
Don't get me wrong it could be worse
When it all comes crumbling down around your feet
Will you say you got your moneys worth
That's when the chief came stumbling in
With a half-empty bottle of gin
The whistle blew, the shot rang out
The bottle shattered as his body hit the ground
It was a blessing and a curse don't get me wrong
Could be worse
There's a lesson to be learned
He played with fire, and he got burned
And when it all comes crumbling down into the sea
I'll say I got my moneys worth
