Refrigerated passenger holds
Keep strong shoulders fresh and cold
Swinging cranes with sinewy loads
Trunks and bridges crack and fold
Pungent dungeons larceny beds
Heads are carved and throats are bled
Dante shanty tinroof homestead
Rent gets paid before baby's fed
The animals are all eating people pie -
Now who can blame 'em?
Now who can blame 'em?
The animals are all eating people pie -
Wave bye bye baby sing baby goodbye
The animals are all eating people pie -
They agree it's lean and fine
Emasculated battleship crew
Push their way through a ration queue
Pressganged, ausganged - pensioning due
Chilled downwind from an open flue
Looted muted newspaper man
Holds those tickets in his other hand
Scrabblin' babblin' fevered demand
For green baize seats in the arena stand
The animals are all eating people pie -
Now who can chain 'em?
Now who can chain 'em?
The animals are all eating people pie -
False scent up the alleyway
Webs across the sky
The animals are all eating people pie -
They agree it's lean and fine
