[Verse]
Well now DBilly Voltaire was a piano player Gup from Miami Dway
He used to Dplay in the bars, he could Dsound like the stars
LaE7dies would pay andA7 pay
OneG night he did wiDnd up plaCyin' in HavaGna town
NDobody knew, leaDst Billy Voltaire that theAse were his final sounDds
[Verse]
He metD up with Meritta, a Gdancer in from the DCoast
Half Dwoman, half child, she Ddrove him half wild
He lE7oved that lady the mA7ost
One Gnight he did find heDr in the armCs of Shrimper GDan
So he Dpulled a knife, toDok poor Danny's life
And then heA turned his own cold Dhand
[Chorus]
And iDt's just a CuGban crime of passion
MesDsy and old fashioned
Yeah, tAhat's what the papers did sDay
It's just a CuGban crime of passion
AnDjejo and knives a slashin'
Yeah bAut that's what the people like to rAead aboCut
UAp in AmericCa, up in AmerDica

Well now tDhey never found Meritta,G some people say she got Dill
Billy DVoltaire had no Done to claim him,
he was E7buried on pauper's hA7ill
And no Gone talks abDout 'em no more, it Chappened just a week Gago
But peDople get by and peDople get high
IAn the tropics they come and they Dgo
[Chorus]
And iDt's just a CuGban crime of passion
MesDsy and old fashioned
Yeah, tAhat's what the papers did sDay
It's just a CuGban crime of passion
AnDjejo and knives a slashin'
Yeah bAut that's what the people like to rAead aboCut
UAp in AmericCa, up in AmerDica
