Verse:
______G_______________Bm
Well,_Frankie_Lee_and_Judas_Priest,
_____Am_______________G
They_were_the_best_of_friends.
___________________________Bm
So_when_Frankie_Lee_needed_money_one_day,
______Am___________________________G
Judas_quickly_pulled_out_a_roll_of_tens
_____________________Bm
And_placed_them_on_a_footstool
_____Am________________G
Just_above_the_plotted_plain,
________G________________Bm
Sayin,_"Take_your_pick,_Frankie_Boy,
___Am________________G
My_loss_will_be_your_gain."
Verse:
Well,_Frankie_Lee,_he_sat_right_down
And_put_his_fingers_to_his_chin,
But_with_the_cold_eyes_of_Judas_on_him,
His_head_began_to_spin.
"Would_ya_please_not_stare_at_me_like_that,"_he_said,
"Its_just_my_foolish_pride,
But_sometimes_a_man_must_be_alone
And_this_is_no_place_to_hide."
Verse:
Well,_Judas,_he_just_winked_and_said,
"All_right,_Ill_leave_you_here,
But_youd_better_hurry_up_and_choose
Which_of_those_bills_you_want,
Before_they_all_disappear."
"Im_gonna_start_my_pickin_right_now,
Just_tell_me_where_youll_be."
Verse:
Judas_pointed_down_the_road
And_said,_"Eternity!"
"Eternity?"_said_Frankie_Lee,
With_a_voice_as_cold_as_ice.
"Thats_right,"_said_Judas_Priest,_"Eternity,
Though_you_might_call_it_Paradise."
Verse:
"I_dont_call_it_anything,"
Said_Frankie_Lee_with_a_smile.
"All_right,"_said_Judas_Priest,
"Ill_see_you_after_a_while."
Well,_Frankie_Lee,_he_sat_back_down,
Feelin_low_and_mean,
When_just_then_a_passing_stranger
Burst_upon_the_scene,
Saying,_"Are_you_Frankie_Lee,_the_gambler,
Whose_father_is_deceased?
Well,_if_you_are,
Theres_a_fellow_callin_you_down_the_road
And_they_say_his_name_is_Priest."
Verse:
"Oh,_yes,_he_is_my_friend,"
Said_Frankie_Lee_in_fright,
"I_do_recall_him_very_well,
In_fact,_he_just_left_my_sight."
"Yes,_thats_the_one,"_said_the_stranger,
As_quiet_as_a_mouse,
"Well,_my_message_is,_hes_down_the_road,
Stranded_in_a_house."
Verse:
Well,_Frankie_Lee,_he_panicked,
He_dropped_evrything_and_ran
Until_he_came_up_to_the_spot
Where_Judas_Priest_did_stand.
"What_kind_of_house_is_this,"_he_said,
"Where_I_have_come_to_roam?"
"Its_not_a_house,"_said_Judas_Priest,
"Its_not_a_house_._._._its_a_home."
Verse:
Well,_Frankie_Lee,_he_trembled,
He_soon_lost_all_control
Over_evrything_which_he_had_made
While_the_mission_bells_did_toll.
He_just_stood_there_staring
At_that_big_house_as_bright_as_any_sun,
With_four_and_twenty_windows
And_a_womans_face_in_evry_one.
Verse:
Well,_up_the_stairs_ran_Frankie_Lee
With_a_soulful,_bounding_leap,
And,_foaming_at_the_mouth,
He_began_to_make_his_midnight_creep.
For_sixteen_nights_and_days_he_raved,
But_on_the_seventeenth_he_burst
Into_the_arms_of_Judas_Priest,
Which_is_where_he_died_of_thirst.
Verse:
No_one_tried_to_say_a_thing
When_they_took_him_out_in_jest,
Except,_of_course,_the_little_neighbor_boy
Who_carried_him_to_rest.
And_he_just_walked_along,_alone,
With_his_guilt_so_well_concealed,
And_muttered_underneath_his_breath,
"Nothing_is_revealed."
Verse:
Well,_the_moral_of_the_story,
The_moral_of_this_song,
Is_simply_that_one_should_never_be
Where_one_does_not_belong.
So_when_you_see_your_neighbor_carryin_somethin,
Help_him_with_his_load,
And_dont_go_mistaking_Paradise
For_that_home_across_the_road.
