Ow
Cha
Shoo-ca-choo-ca
As he came into the window was a sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment, he left the bloodstains on the carpet
She ran underneath the table, he could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom, she was struck down, it was her doom
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
Will you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sound at the window
Then he struck you, a crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
Left the bloodstains on the carpet
And then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down, it was your doom
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
You've been hit by
You've been hit by a smooth criminal
Ow
So they came into the out way
It was Sunday, what a black day
Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
Soundin' heartbeats, intimidations
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? (Annie, are you okay?)
So, Annie, are you okay? (Annie, are you okay?)
Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? (Annie, are you okay?)
So, Annie, are you okay? (Annie, are you okay?)
Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
Will you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sound at the window
Then he struck you, a crescendo Annie
He came into your apartment
Left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down, it was your doom
Annie, are you okay? So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
You've been hit by
You've been struck by a smooth criminal
Ow
Okay, I want everybody to clear the area right now
Ow
Hoo, hoo
Hoo
Ah, ow
Annie, are you okay? (I don't know)
Will you tell us, that you're okay? (I don't know)
There's a sound at the window (I don't know)
Then he struck you, a crescendo Annie (I don't know)
He came into your apartment (I don't know)
Left the bloodstains on the carpet (I don't know why, baby)
And then you ran into the bedroom (help me)
You were struck down, it was your doom, Annie (daggone it)
Annie, are you okay? (Daggone it, baby)
Will you tell us that you're okay? (Daggone it, baby)
There's a sound at the window (daggone it, baby)
Then he struck you, a crescendo Annie (ooh, ooh)
He came into your apartment (daggone it)
Left the bloodstains on the carpet (hoo, hoo, hoo)
And then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down (daggone it), it was your doom Annie
Ow, ow
Ow
Shoo-cha-choo, shoo-cha-choo, ow
