I made my debut
When very few knew
My taste for lust
And a hooker’s bust
It was 1888
Money was easy bait
East End of London
England’s dungeon
First was Mary Ann Nichols
The thought of her still tickles
Plucked out her teeth
Right under the night’s wreath
Tore out her tongue
To the pleasure I clung
Second was Annie Chapman
To her, I was a captain
Cut her throat
Like a slaughtered goat
Ripped out her intestines
To do this I was destined
Third was Elizabeth Stride
She was a special prize
This one I did not feed
Plump one she was indeed
I did her body what I did the others
But hers reminded me of my mother’s
Fourth was Catherine Eddowes
To her I gave several blows
Temper, temper, Miss
Cutting her was a bliss
Then was Mary Jane Kelly
How I opened her belly
As fair and sweet as she was
Slashing her gave me a buzz
You see, my day job
Saw women as snobs
But at night
Some let me bite
And to them I gave my thanks
Down by the river banks
As a physician
I was on a mission
To show them
They’re to be condemned
Never have I been so chipper
To be called Jack the Ripper
The Ripper
