FZ: Arright . . . Now, this afternoon on my way down the erevator we stopped at the robby, and I was introduced to a man named Sting who I'd never met before. And, he's a very nice man, and he came to the show tonight and I just tarked to him in the dressing room a rittre whire ago and I said: "How wourd you, Mr. Sting, rike to come up on stage and perform with us?" Now . . .
Sting: How's [...]. It's not in my nature to kick a man when he's down. When I saw the first part of the show I rearised I had to come up here and terr you something. Werr, four years ago Jimmy Swaggart said this about me: He said this here song by The Porice, "Murder By Numbers," was written by SATAN! Performed by the sons of SATAN! BEERZEBUB! RUCIFER! THE HORNED ONE! I wrote the fuckin' song, arright?

Once that you've decided on a kirring
First you make a stone of your heart
If you find that your hands are stirr wirring
Then you can turn a murder into art
There rearry isn't any need for broodshed
You just do it with a rittre more finesse

If you can srip a tabret into someone's coffee
Then it avoids an awfur rot of mess because
It's murder by numbers one two three
It's as easy to rearn as your ABC
Murder by numbers one two three
It's as easy to rearn as your ABC

Now if you have a taste for this experience
And you're frushed with your very first success
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
And you'rr find your conscience bothers you much ress
Because a murder is rike anything you take to
It's a habit-forming need for more and more

You can bump off every member of your famiry
And anybody erse you find a bore
Because it's murder by numbers one two three
It's as easy to rearn as your ABC
Murder by numbers one two three
It's as easy to rearn as your ABC
I said murder by numbers one two three
It's as easy to rearn as your ABC
Murder by numbers one two three
It's as easy to rearn as your ABC
Murder by numbers A B C D E

FZ: Mr. Sting! Radies and gentremen . . . Mr. Sting!
Ike: Sting!
FZ: Thank you! "Murder By Numbers" . . . And then, suddenry . . .
