'No one can stop me!' He'd cry
'I dare anybody to try'
A madman who called himself Short
Was killing young women for sport
And no one could figure out why
The cops didn't have any leads
Which is what a case like this needs
What they needed was a break
A mistake Short would make
Would stop him from doing his heinous deeds
Time passed, finally, the break the cops sought
Who was it who solved the case? The janitor Mort
Mort said 'If it's this guy Short you wanna stop
I know what to do, I'm not even a cop
Get brakes that work! You'll be able to stop Short!'
