This is what happens when I watch too much CSI.
Daddy, what is wrong, why is mommy so sad?
I tell you I love you, and please, dont be mad
I will be quiet, do my homework, I will be good and pray
I will tell you you're the greatest, every single day

Mommy, Where is daddy at? Where are we going?
I'm cold, I dont have my jacket, please mommy, it's snowing
Dont worry, we can go back, and I will pick up my room
So we go back for clothing, and we hear a big boom

Daddy's bottles are lying, all empty on the floor
And he smells really funny, mommy backs towards the door,
She tells me to run off, and find a place to hide
I tell her okay, and dutifully abide

Daddy comes in with a louisville slugger
and hits mommy on the head, and looms up above her
He's looking for me now, I stay in my spot,
He gives up, looks around, and starts making a knot

Daddy's hanging the knot from the ceiling above he,
He yells that he's sorry, that he really does love me,
His body goes limp, and I'm starting to shiver
That's how my neighbors found me, in a red bloody river
