10 Rillington Place

Mr John Haigh
Thought that it was funny
To kill people
And take all their money
A missing lady
Made the police suspect
And led to his
Overdue arrest

John George Haigh
Tried to plead insane
But he murdered his victims
For financial gain
He killed them with
A lead pipe or a gun
And dissolved their bodies
In an acid filled drum

William McSwan
Was his drinking chum
He and his parents
Went in the acid drum
Haigh moved to a
Hotel in Kensington
And killed a couple
Called the Hendersons

He told the police
That he killed three more
But he'd stay free
Because they'd find no corpse
They found false teeth
In the acid sludge
Death by hanging
Was the sentence from the judge
