Hands all Clean by Original Broadway Cast of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Lyrics

[Doctor Robinson]
Spirits, ha, well hurry up
The time has come to earn your pay
I need that grave dug up tonight, no matter what your spirits say
Before that rain starts fallin' down
I need that body from the ground
I need that body from the ground

[Joe]
It's been this way my whole life through
When rich folks need some bad deed done
It's always me that they turn to
Old Injun Joe, yea I'm the one

They call me trash, they call me mean
It's me who keeps their hands all clean

Five dollars Doc, and you will see
Nobody robs a grave like me
Nobody robs a grave like me
[Doc and Joe fight]

[Joe]
Doc, I guess we're even now
I won't trouble you no more
Like everybody in this town, you left me hungry at the door
I'd just wished your eyes could see
Nobody hides a knife like me
Nobody hides a knife like me
