lyrics

MS FISCHER:
Well hello young man, would you like some tea?
I am Mrs Fischer, do sit with me
I've got Viennese whirls and custard creams,
Shortbread, bourbons and garibaldis!

What a variety!

RAY:
Greetings crone, I beg you to explain
The keeper has gone and two men are slain
You’re a teacher, is that the truth?
And taught the keeper all through his youth

How ancient can she be?

MS FISCHER:
Oh you must be parched dear, it’s sad to see
You look tired and drained, don't you agree?
Just sip this up and you'll feel as good as gold
But with haste, my child before it gets cold

Naturally caffeine-free!

RAY:
Now listen hag, you mustn't digress
Just answer the question with a no or a yes
I don't want your oolong or chamomile
And english breakfast ain’t my style

He only drinks coffee!

MS FISCHER:
Why yes I taught him, all that he knows
He seldom spoke, only when he chose
The other lads would mock him so
They'd torment the poor boy till tears would flow

How very sad indeed!

RAY:
Ms Fischer ma’am why didn’t you restrain
The kids from causing him such pain
He must be scarred from all that stress
No wonder he’s packed up and left!

Gone on a killing spree!

MS FISCHER:
Well you see my dear, he’d never rise to the bait
He had other things that were on his plate
I do not believe he’d hurt a fly
I think someone’s been spreading lies

Innocent not guilty!

MS FISCHER [Spoken]:
Now I’m afraid I must bid you goodbye, Detective Stein. A very sad occasion… I must attend the funeral of two former students of mine.

RAY: [Aside]:
There’s something fishy going on here
The facts still remain unclear
If Ms Fischer’s tale is true
I’ll need to gather up some clues!
