Verse 1

The Shankhill Butchers are tonight, you better shut your windows tight.

They're sharpening their cleavers and their knives, and taking all their

whiskey by the pint.

Chorus

And everybody knows if you don't mind your mother's words, oh wicked winds

will blow the ribbons from your curls. Everybody knows, everybody shake, the

Shankhill Butcher's gonna catch you away

(Repeat Intro)

Verse 2

They used to be just like me and you, they used to be sweet little boys. But

something went horribly askew, now killing is their only source of joy.

Chorus again

Verse 3

The Shankhill Butchers are tonight, they're waiting in the dead of night.

They're picking at their fingers with their knives, and cleaning off their

cleavers on their thighs.

Chorus

The Shankhill Butcher's gonna cut you

The SHankhill Butcher's gonna catch you
