Interesting...in a good way. I wonder what the melody would be like ? I have a 45 of the Chad Mitchel Trio's version of a Lizzie Borden Song. I love it. It's rather comical.

Hear ye, hear ye,

Any song writers out there on this forum want to tackle with putting a melody to this song? Come on I dare you. One of my hobbies is changing/adding lyrics in popular songs but I know nothing of musical notes and such.

What about it Ben? You are into music.

Harry found this a while ago and thought it was worth posting.

The Dolomites are still performing that crazy song, but I can’t find the lyrics anywhere!
The video quality is harsh.

Found our Member Susan’s post with her best guess as to the lyrics to this song by The Dolomites.
Lizzie Song is the name of the thread.

Thanks, Harry, actually, its kind of a catchy little tune, though I don't know about the lyrics. I tried to write down what I could catch, sounds like Lizzie is supposed to be a cannibal?

What to do, today, today, its a minute or two to 2:00
A distinctly difficult thing to say, but, hurry theres still to do
There'll be a tattoo at twenty to 2:00 with a rat-a-tat-a-tat-a-tattoo
Ol' Sloug will come when he hears a drum, a minute or two to 2:00
Today, a minute or two to 2:00, a minute or two to 2:00, today
Sloug will play the drum

Lizzie-Miss Prissy, was saucy and sassy, and happy and sappy and happy
She took some tacks and then an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks
Gave her forty cracks

And when she thought that she was done
She gave her father fortyone at a minute or two to 1:00
A minute or two to 1:00 today, she whacked her father down

Oh Lizzie Borden, full of gore, she always eats the core
When she says she'll make it up, I hurry back for more
You're never sure whats in score, so lock and close the door(s)

So, listen to the sound of, and listen to the sound of Bibbity-bobbity-boo,
Bibbity-bobbity-boo, bibbity-bobbity-boo, bibbity-bobbity-boo

Father was ugly and stringy and stitchy and filled full of hair
Mother was slimy and smelly and fat and dirty as a matter of fact
But, Lizzie was hungry and what did she spy
the very thing ____ ____ ____ ____ axe
She probably _____ ______ _____
Guess what we're having for tea today, a minute or two to 2:00 today
Guess what we're having for tea

I want it, I want it, I want my new meat, all juicy and spicy and tender and slender, I hope you're not nasty, leaking, crispy, but, luscious, tasty and sizzly, but, luscious, tasty and sizzly, but, luscious, tasty and sizzly

Oh, Lizzie Borden, Queen of Gore, she always eats the core
When she says she'll make it up, I go right back for more
You're never sure whats the score, forever close your doors

So listen to the sound of, listen to the sound of, bibbity-bobbity-boo
bibbity-bobbity-boo, bibbity-bobbity-boo, bibbity-bobbity-boo
____ _____ she slices ya', she got him in his head
She ____ in the clean, but her bill is dripping red
She picked it up, she got an axe, she mixed up all the rest
But when she cut him up, the middle of the liver was the best
the liver was the best, the liver was the best

She tried it _____, she tried it hot, she even tried it fried
But best of all was casserole, with eyeballs on the side
At a minute or two to 2:00 today, a minute or two to 2:00
A minute or two to 2:00, a minute or two to 2:00 today
With eyeballs on the side, with eyeballs on the side, with eyeballs on the side

Lizzie Borden, Queen of Gore, she always eats the core
When she says she'll make it up, I come right back for more
You're never sure whats the score, forever close your doors

So listen to the sound of, listen to the sound of, bibbity-bobbity-boo
bibbity-bobbity-boo, bibbity-bobbity-boo, bibbity-bobbity-boo

Susan must have been really bored the day she decided to try and interpret that songs lyrics!!

[Kat]

We were all appreciative. She might have had help- she had a twin and a fiancé. The twin thought like her, tho a guy.
I love that song.
I tried to be the madness in that song- tried to be in Lizzie’s brain as if hearing that over and over and going mad and killing horribly -nasty stuff in the head..what are the thoughts of a murderer in frenzy?
(Whomever did it…)

I just noticed that in my post of the 22nd, where “Lizzie comes to town”, (article transcribed by Harry), from Lizzie Borden Sourcebook- FRHerald- it says in the article “2 minutes to 2 o’clock”!!
