[00:00.00] 作曲 : Harry Nilsson [00:32.19]It was a rainy night and all the windows were tight [00:36.00]And there were thirteen people in the house [00:39.93]The owner and his wife, the butler and his wife [00:43.68]Cook with her knife, a couple named Smythe. [00:47.13]The Andersons were there with another strange pair [00:50.55]And the scary caretaker and me [00:54.51]The clock struck one, there was the sound of a gun [00:57.72]And I heard somebody run away. [01:01.44]And the twelve who were alive had terror in their eyes [01:05.16]And I overheard the Andersons say... [01:07.29]'Who could have done it ?' [01:09.09]'Who could have done it ?' [01:12.39]And I wonder where's the cook and her knife [01:16.02]'Madam' - said Adam with his wife by his side [01:19.23]'It was the shot we heard that took her life'. [01:21.87]The other couple named Sloan and I ran to the phone [01:29.94]To call the police but just then [01:33.69]All the power went out and we heard a great shout [01:37.44]And we knew for someone else it was the end. [01:40.71]And when the power came on, we were shocked with alarm [01:44.28]For instead of being twelve, we were ten. [01:46.71]Who could have done it? [01:50.07]Who could have done it? [01:51.81]The Andersons were such a nice pair. [01:54.87]Now the owner and his wife, both afraid for their life [01:58.47]So they hurried to the door to run away [02:01.98]But before they got there, there was a whistle through the air [02:05.58]Then another, then they both had passed away. [02:09.03]There were seven of us left now, afraid of death now [02:12.87]But I knew it wasn't me or the Sloans [02:15.45]'Cause when the power went out and we heard the others shout [02:19.77]We were out there in the hallway on the phone. [02:23.13]That left the butler and his wife and the couple named Smythe [02:26.85]And the old scary caretaker too [02:30.27]So the Sloans and I, who were both afraid to die [02:33.90]Had to think of something quick we could do. [02:37.29]So we called the Smythes and the butler and his wife [02:41.07]And we gathered in the drawing room [02:44.52]But before we could call for the caretaker too [02:47.97]It was too late for he had met his doom. [02:51.30]It looked like poison. [02:54.78]That left five, five, five were still alive [02:58.83]The Sloans, the Smythes and myself [03:02.07]Once again the lights went out and I heard a great shout [03:05.82]From both the Smythes and the Sloans. [03:09.09]And then the lights came on again and I looked around again [03:12.96]And everybody was dead and I was alone. [03:23.16]Well, I must have passed out for the next thing I knew [03:26.70]I was awakened with my hands in chains [03:30.09]There was a man with a gun and he said: 'Don't bother, son' [03:33.93]'You'll have plenty of time to explain'. [03:37.47]I was rushed to a car, then taken to a cell [03:40.95]And a lawyer came in and said his name [03:44.19]He said: 'I'm sure you told the truth but the truth is, my boy' [03:48.06]'To believe in the judge would be insane'. [03:50.55]'Now before I pass sentence on you, have you anything to say?' [03:56.52]I said: 'Are you kiddin'?' [03:58.14]I said: 'This must be a dream' - I said: 'This can't be real' [04:02.04]'You don't believe a word that I've said'. [04:05.31]And then he looked me in the eye and said: 'Have mercy on his soul' [04:08.82]And I was hanged by the neck until dead, have mercy. [04:23.88]Hey, wait a minute, hey, stop [04:30.51]Hey, would you mind rewinding that last sentence? [04:35.43]I mean, hanged by the what? [04:40.62]Until when? [04:41.28]Hey, listen, I think you made a little, I mean I think you made a large mistake here [04:48.48]First of all, I was in Colorado having breakfast with a nun, OK? [04:57.15]What do you mean? There's nothing to get hung up about [04:59.97]I mean, you should be in here [05:02.70]Hey, you ever heard of the word appeal? [05:05.52]Well, I'm about to appeal you off that bench in a minute unless you change that decision [05:10.56]Listen, I got a lot, I mean I had a lot of friends in this town [05:13.80]Hey, I want to see my congress man.
