Apparently I wrote this cheesy boogiewoogie fun song about a certain goth cult spinster from the Victorian era. For those who do not know her: Lizzie Borden was accused of brutally murdering her father and stepmother with a hatchet back in 1892. The lyrics are full of dark humor references to the case (probably not everyone's cup of tea). Please let me know what you think of it, especially in regard to the lyrics since I’m not a native English speaker. Of course I'll be listening to your songs as well this week

LyricsI went on a date with a girl named Lizzie Borden
The loveliest creature I had ever seen
The first time I saw her she was cutting down a tree
Forty whacks should do it, she said to me
Lizzie Borden
She’s my date
I went to the house of the spinster Lizzie Borden
Her dad wasn’t home, so I guess he was gone
She said she had a fight with her mum
But she buried the hatchet
I guess me and Lizzie, we were home alone
Lizzie Borden
She’s my date
Lizzie whispered in my ear: close your eyes
I guess I was in for a big surprise
There was a tension in the air
As if she was sharpening blades
Oh Lizzie Borden, you won’t leave me in one piece
Lizzie Borden
You wicked girl
Lizzie Borden
My final mate
