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
Away
