I thought I heard a chainsaw
rather late last night
I woke this mornin' and I knew I was right
I got the cut-in-half blues

well the last thing I saw was the big long saw
I got the cut-in-half blues

I knew we were in trouble
I knew she lost her head
when she started bringin' all those power tools to bed
I got the cut-in-half blues

well the last thing I saw was the big long saw
I got the cut-in-half blues

(little beck skat riff)

I'm layin' in my grave
all I do is grunt
cause the undertaker got all mixed up
and put my ass in the front
I got the cut-in-half blues

well the last thing I saw was the big long saw
I got the cut-in-half blues (achoo!)
