They may be able to pin the tail on the donkey,
but they can't get anything to hold us down.
She was ducking for apples and we'll stick to that story,
we just held her breath for her and sadly she drowned.
No body of evidence if you haven't got a body,
Proofs in the pudding, there's food for thought.
We've all got a conscience that makes us feel guilty,
and we're sick of feeling guilty when we haven't been caught.

Got to stay in one piece and stay out of jail,
We've got to hide the dead girl.
Got to lose the police, who are hot on our trail,
We've got to hide the dead girl.

I'll be a demon as long as I've got my petroleum,
Keep me going forward, wheels going round,
Desperate desperadoes in search of a sanctuary,
Staying our innocence 'till otherwise found.

Got to stay in one piece and stay out of jail,
We've got to hide the dead girl.

And I'm driving, and I'm driving fast,
I find it exciting, yes I find it a blast.

Got to stay in one piece and stay out of jail,
We've got to hide the dead girl.
Got to lose the police, who are hot on our trail,
We've got to hide the dead girl (x4)
