Let me tell ya a story that's a little bit gory
About a woman and her cheating man
She believed in the Glory of Love
And the cheating she just would not stand
He came home one night to a terrible fight
Because he smelled of anothers perfume
Darling he said you know that I love you
More than a born again Jew
Theres a bullet in the mattress
You can hear it go ring a ding ding ding
Theres a bullet in the mattress
This time I wanna hear ya sing
La di da da da lot da da da
Da da lot da da da da da
La di da da da lot da da da
Da da lot da da da di da
La di da da la lot dot da da
da da lot do da da di da
La di da do la lot dot da da
Lot da da da di da
He had a key for the house down by the River he made for her
He liked to be treated just like a king
And his wife to be treated like a whore
She wanted sleep and he wanted love
And for that she wanted him dead
She rolled him over and when it was over
Shot him in the back of the head
Theres a bullet in the mattress
You can hear it go ring a ding ding ding
Theres a bullet in the mattress
This time I wanna hear ya sing
La di da da da lot da da da
Da da lot da da da da da
La di da da da lot da da da
Da da lot da da da di da
La di da da la lot dot da da
da da lot do da da di da
La di da do la lot dot da da
Lot da da da di da
Theres a bullet in the mattress
I seen it there myself
Theres a bullet in the mattress
I seen it there myself
Theres a bullet in the mattress
I seen it there myself
Theres a bullet in the mattress
I seen it there myself
Theres a bullet in the mattress
I seen it there myself
