von Austin Wintory

Attend the tale of Maxwell Roth
He sought the footlights like a moth
His sense of timing never off until

He opted to collaborate
With a hooded reprobate
The blighter and assassin made
A deadly double bill

Jokes, Jokes, Jokes!
Make ‘em laugh until they choke
Fairly slay ‘em in the aisles
Maidens fair and and Princes charming

Thrills Thrills Thrills!
Dashing feats and bloody spills
And I guarantee
You'll never see
The ending coming

The curtain rose, the scene was set
They danced a murderous duet
And much deserving blood was let
Up to

The scene wherein they disagreed
On who should live and who should bleed
And Maxwell Roth he then received
A very bad review

Jokes, Jokes, Jokes!
And there's daggers and there's cloaks
But behind the scenes the leading players
Differ on the plot

Laugh laugh laugh!
At the dandy's new red scarf
Now eight shows a week to Beelzebub
Is his eternal lot!

Jokes, Jokes, Jokes!
Make ‘em laugh until they choke
Fairly slay ‘em in the aisles
Maidens fair and and Princes charming

Thrills Thrills Thrills!
Dashing feats and bloody spills
And I guarantee
You'll never see
The ending coming
