The Whores That Jack Killed

Here's a man you should know well
Jack the Ripper, straight from hell
Polly Nichols was the first
Victim of Jack's bloody thirst

The second one was Annie Chapman
Slaughtered by the east-end phantom
Her throat was cut, guts akimbo
Another mutilated bimbo

Jack the Ripper
He murdered five whores
But we'll never never never
Know his name for sure

The next one was Elizabeth Stride
The ripper slashed her open wide
Katie Eddowes was the next
Victim of Jack's slaughterfest

And what he did to Mary Kelley
Would surely turn the strongest belly
Still the police could shed no light
On the man who made whores fear at night

Suddenly the killing stopped
Eventually the case was dropped
His name remains a mystery
The most famous killer in all history

So raise your glasses for a toast
To the Ripper's laughing ghost
Who he was no-one can say
But Jack the lad got clean away
