Dorthea had a bad place that was a disgrace |
|
a home for old people for a monthly rate |
|
with the help of her son |
|
the old folks' home she'd run |
|
and things seemed quite normal |
|
but something was wrong |
|
The people that graced old Dorthea's place |
|
had no friends or family that she'd have to face |
|
so she thought of a scam |
|
her son the right hand man |
|
a very demented and morbid plan |
|
The old folks' social security checks |
|
to Dorthea were sent |
|
she was allowed to cash |
|
tenants' checks for their rent |
|
but the tenants were dead |
|
all poisoned to death |
|
so they wouldn't have to be |
|
cared for or fed |
|
With the help of her son |
|
buried one by one |
|
in Dorthea's yard |
|
'til someone caught on |
|
Dorthea did plead guilty for her deeds |
|
Dorthea's dead folks home |
|
is now history |
