Peg And Pete And Me Lyrics

Peg And Pete And Me

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
