The Cramps
Butcher Pete
Hey everybody, did the news get around
About a guy named Butcher Pete
Oh, Pete just flew into this town
And he's choppin' up all the women's meat

[Chorus]
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He just hack, wack, choppin' that meat

Butcher Pete's got a long sharp knife
He starts choppin' and don't know when to stop
All you fellows gotta watch your wifes
'Cause Pete don't care who's meat he chops

[Chorus]
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
Hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He just hack, wack, choppin' that meat

Now, ever since Peter flew into town
He's been havin' a ball
Just cuttin' and choppin' for miles around
Single women, married women, old maids and all
[Chorus]
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He just hack, wack, choppin' that meat

He wakes up in the morning, half past five
Chops from sunrise to sunset
I don't see how he stays alive
Meat's gonna be the death of Pete, yeah

[Chorus]
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
Hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He just keeps on hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He just hack, wack, choppin' that meat

Look out, here comes the kid!

The police put Pete in jail
He finally met his fate
But when they came in to pay his bail
They found him choppin' up his cell mate

[Chorus]
Hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He was hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
That man keeps on hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He just hack, wack, choppin' that meat
That Butcher Pete is the craziest yet
Tries to chop down the wind and the rain
Just hacks on anything he can get
Man, that man is just insane

[Chorus]
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He keeps hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He can't stop hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He just hack, wack, choppin' that meat

[Chorus]
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He can't die - hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
That man is crazy
