{"final answer", after having listened to the a cappella track on the Moonwalker single record--for correcting myself on "She went underneath the table."--at 0031 [12:31am] CDT/USA on 20Oct2024.}
i sat here, yesterday, and listened to the song--went back and repeated, for mysef, every piece that needed to be repeated so that i got this right.
this is one of my favourite songs of all time, someone [during conversation] stated that they wonder what the actual lyrics are, and i've kicked myself for it having taken this long [i'm 37 years old, so ... 33 years 0_0 ...] ... for me to have sat here and gotten the lyrics down right for myself.
"Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson
from the album Bad and the movie Moonwalker
As he came in through the window, was the sound of a crescendo.
He commended her apartment. He left the bloodstains on the carpet.
She was underneath the table. He could see she was an eyeball,
so she ran into the bedroom. She was struck down; it was her doom.
- Annie, are you ok?
- Annie, are you ok? are you ok, Annie?
- Annie, are you ok?
- Annie, are you ok? are you ok, Annie?
- Annie, are you ok?
- Annie, are you ok? are you ok, Annie?
- Annie, are you ok?
- Annie, are you ok? are you ok, Annie?
- Annie, are you ok? Will you tell us that you're ok?
- There's a sign on the window that he struck you. A crescendo, Annie!
- He commanded 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 ok?
- Annie, are you ok? are you ok, Annie?
- Annie, are you ok?
- Annie, are you ok? are you ok, Annie?
- Annie, are you ok?
- Annie, are you ok? are you ok, Annie?
- You've been hit by, you've been hit by a smooth criminal.
So, they came in through the outway. It was Sunday, but a black day.
Mouth to mouth resuscitation, resounding heartbeats, interrogations.
- Annie, are you ok?
- you've been hit by, you've been struck by a smooth criminal!
- Annie, are you ok? are you ok, Annie?
- Annie, are you ok?
- Annie, are you ok? are you ok, Annie?
- Annie, are you ok?
- Annie, are you ok? are you ok, Annie?
- Annie, are you ok?
- Annie, are you ok? are you ok, Annie?
- Annie, are you ok? Will you tell us that you're ok?
- There's a sign on the window that he struck you. A crescendo, Annie!
- He commanded 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 ok?
- Annie, are you ok? are you ok, Annie?
- Annie, are you ok?
- Annie, are you ok? are you ok, Annie?
- Annie, are you ok?
- Annie, are you ok? are you ok, Annie?
*-Annie, are you ok?
-Annie, are you ok? are you ok, Annie?
