Lyrics
Out on the killing floor,
Like the Amboy Dukes did before.
And Murder Incorporated too,
They did the Brownsville Stomp for you.
The Mau Maus did it in their day,
The Starz are still doing it today.
Just grab the hand of the Psychopomp,
And do the Brownsville Stomp!
So if you're sick in the head,
And think you'd be better off dead.
Just get out on the killing floor,
And do the Brownsville Stomp once more.
The Psychopomp is not fool,
He's got only one simple rule.
Save the last dance for him,
He'll take you home when they do you in.
So get out on the killing floor,
If you want to suffer some more.
Twirl around and around and around,
Until someone shoots you down.
Don't ask the reason why,
When it's your turn to die.
Just grab the hand of the Psychopomp
And do the Brownsville Stomp!
