I can feel the life runnin' out of me workin' here at Pete's

Two years ago it was just the thing

Workin' cars part time every week

I met 'em both at a drag race

They both dressed pretty snappy that day

Pete's wife Peg put the make on me

While Pete just looked the other way



Now no one can say what your future will hold

Or what your life will have in store

We went home that night

Pete passed out on the couch

And then Peg pulled me down on the floor

Well, I know she knew what she was doing

Forbidden fruit, but what the hell, I bit

That's all it took, my fate was sealed

That night the flame was lit



And every night when the lights go out

Pete drinks his booze and then he passes out

And I hear a footstep outside my door

And then I remember what I started working here for



CHORUS

Peg and Pete and me

One and one and one make three

Peg and Pete and me

One and one and one make three

Now tell me what would you do if you were in my shoes?



Tonight Peg, we gotta stop this thing

I don't know if we can, Peg said

"Don't worry, now Pete's asleep and I've got a certain plan

You know everything is in my name," she said,

"and anyway I love you so very much.

He'll never feel a thing

Just like he never woke up

And after that it will be just us."



Every night when the lights go out

Pete drinks his booze and then he passes out

And I hear a footstep outside my door

And then I remember what I started working here for



CHORUS



The next morning when I woke up Peg was gone

But the dtective said, "Son, yo ugotta come downtown with me

'Cause we know you killed Pete dead."

The jury found me guilty

And sent me up for ninety-nine to life

And if there's any advice I can give from this cell

NEver trust a rich, dead man's wife



CHORUS
