I Live In A Town Called Millhaven

And It's Small And It's Mean And It's Cold

But If You Come Around Just As The Sun Goes Down

You Can Watch The Whole Town Turn To Gold

It's Around About Then That I Used To Go A-roaming

Singing La La La La La La La Lie

All God's Children They All Gotta Die



My Name Is Loretta But I Prefer Lottie

I'm Closing In On My Fifteenth Year

And If You Think You Have Seen A Pair Of Eyes More Green

Then You Sure Didn't See Them Around Here

My Hair Is Yellow And I'm Always A-combing

La La La La La La La Lie

Mama Often Told Me We All Got To Die



You Must Have Heard About The Curse Of Millhaven

How Last Christmas Bill Blake's Little Boy Didn't Come Home

They Found Him Next Week In One Mile Creek

His Head Bashed In And His Pockets Full Of Stones

Well, Just Imagine All The Wailing And Moaning

La La La La La La La Lie

Even Little Billy Blake's Boy, He Had To Die



Then Professor O'Rye From Millhaven High

Found Nailed To His Door His Prize-winning Terrier

Then Next Day The Old Fool Brought Little Biko To School

And We All Had To Watch As He Buried Her

His Eulogy To Biko Had All The Tears A-flowing

La La La La La La La Lie

Even God's Little Creatures, They Have To Die



Our Little Town Fell Into A State Of Shock

A Lot Of People Were Saying Things That Made Little Sense

Then The Next Thing You Know The Head Of Handyman Joe

Was Found In The Fountain Of The Mayor's Residence

Foul Play Can Really Get A Small Town Going

La La La La La La La Lie

Even God's Children All Have To Die



Then, In A Cruel Twist Of Fate, Old Mrs Colgate

Was Stabbed But The Job Was Not Complete

The Last Thing She Said Before The Cops Pronounced Her Dead

Was, "My Killer Is Loretta And She Lives Across The Street!"

Twenty Cops Burst Through My Door Without Even Phoning

La La La La La La La Lie

The Young Ones, The Old Ones, They All Gotta Die
