''You know how people have these little habits
That get you down like Ernie
Ernie like to chew gum, no, not chew, Pop

So, I come home this one day and there's Ernie
Layin' on the couch drinking a beer and chewin', no, not chewin', poppin' some gum
So, I said to him, I said
"Ernie, you pop that gum one more time" and he did

So I took the shotgun off the wall
And I fired two warning shots into his head ''

p.s. if you like 'bring up the bodies' by hilary mantel we should be friends.
