(Repeat verse and refrain)
Where are the plumbers 
Who went a-missing here on Monday? 
There was a tall man 
With his companion, 
And I bet you gave them coffee--homeground.
Maybe you're lonely, 
And only want a little company, 
But keep your recipes 
For the rats to eat, 
And may they rest in peace with coffee homeground.
Well, you won't get me with your Belladonna--in the coffee, 
And you won't get me with your arsenic--in the pot of tea, 
And you won't put me in a six-foot plot--with your hemlock 
On the rocks.
(Refrain)
You won't get me with your Belladonna--in the coffee, 
And you won't get me with your arsenic--in the pot of tea, 
And you won't get me in a hole to rot--with your hemlock 
On the rocks.
With your hemlock on the rocks. 
"Noch ein Glas, mein Liebchen?"
With your hemlock on the rocks. 
"Es schmeckt wunderbahr!"*
With your hemlock on the rocks. 
"Und ???"

(Repeat verse and refrain)

Where are the plumbers

Who went a-missing here on Monday?

There was a tall man

With his companion,

And I bet you gave them coffee--homeground.

Maybe you're lonely,

And only want a little company,

But keep your recipes

For the rats to eat,

And may they rest in peace with coffee homeground.

Well, you won't get me with your Belladonna--in the coffee,

And you won't get me with your arsenic--in the pot of tea,

And you won't put me in a six-foot plot--with your hemlock

On the rocks.

(Refrain)

You won't get me with your Belladonna--in the coffee,

And you won't get me with your arsenic--in the pot of tea,

And you won't get me in a hole to rot--with your hemlock

On the rocks.

With your hemlock on the rocks.

"Noch ein Glas, mein Liebchen?"

With your hemlock on the rocks.

"Es schmeckt wunderbahr!"*

With your hemlock on the rocks.

"Und ???"
