Lyrics:

Well, what have we here?
The accursed sits and shakes with fear.
You know how that makes me...
...makes me grin from ear to ear!

Your lemony fear isn't all I can smell.
You're not hiding your deceit very well.
Tell us, you swindler, what drove you to such crimes.
And hurry it up, don't waste tyrannical time!

Criminal, Criminal! To the window!
Criminal, Criminal! It's your fault, you know.
Criminal, Criminal! It's your time to go.
I'll secure the rope and you're out with a throw.

Hey, criminal scum, let's make this a game.
If this coin lands heads, I'm clearing your name.
Justice is serious, justice is fun.
I would never rest until justice was done!

What's that? The coin has landed, you plea?
What do you mean? There's no coin I can see.
Are you picking on me because I am blind?
That's pretty heinous! I can't help my eyes!

Criminal, Criminal! To the window!
Criminal, Criminal! It's your fault, you know.
Criminal, Criminal! It's your time to go.
I'll secure the rope and you're out with a throw.

Criminal, Criminal! To the window!
Criminal, Criminal! It's your fault, you know.
Criminal, Criminal! It's your time to go.
I'll secure the rope and you're out with a throw.

A job well done. Justice is served.
After all, it's what he deserved.
It sure is delicious to win yet again.
Victory still counts even if it's pretend.
(repeat)

Criminal, Criminal! To the window!
Criminal, Criminal! It's your fault, you know.
Criminal, Criminal! It's your time to go.
I'll secure the rope and you're out with a throw.

Criminal, Criminal! To the window!
Criminal, Criminal! It's your fault, you know.
Criminal, Criminal! It's your time to go.
I'll secure the rope and you're out with a throw.
