d**h in the afternoon Oh no, it seems to me to be so inhuman d**h in the afternoon I guess we all should have seen it coming Everybody's always saying things are changing (And not a minute too soon) I've been looking 'round but only see the same thing Another d**h in the afternoon d**h in the afternoon Oh no, there's murder in the hearts of many And blood on the hands of few Oh no, and the pity is, there isn't any In a carnival that never ever closes
