Hey everybody, did the news get around
About a guy named Butcher Pete
Oh, Pete just flew into this town
And heÂ’s choppinÂ’ up all the womenÂ’s meat
[Chorus]
HeÂ’s hackinÂ’ and wackinÂ’ and smackinÂ’
HeÂ’s hackinÂ’ and wackinÂ’ and smackinÂ’
HeÂ’s hackinÂ’ and wackinÂ’ and smackinÂ’
He just hacks, wacks, choppinÂ’ that meat
Butcher PeteÂ’s got a long sharp knife
He starts choppinÂ’ and donÂ’t know when to stop
All you fellows gotta watch your wifes
‘Cause Pete don’t care who’s meat he chops
[Chorus]
Ever since Peter flew into town
HeÂ’s been havinÂ’ a ball
Just cuttinÂ’ and choppinÂ’ for miles around
Single women, married women, old maids and all
[Chorus]
Wakes up in the morning, half past five
Chops from sunrise to sunset
I donÂ’t see how he stays alive
MeatÂ’s gonna be the death of ole Pete, yeah
[Chorus]
The police put Pete in jail
Yes, he finally met his faith
But when they came to pay his bail
They found him choppinÂ’ up his cell mate
[Chorus]
That Butcher Pete is a crazy man
Tries to chop down the wind and the rain
Just hacks on anything he can get
Say, turn this record over, you ainÂ’t heard nothing yet
