Fifty ways to get to safety
(to the tune of "Fifty ways to leave your lover" by Paul Simon")
50 ways to get to safety
Someone is shooting up the mall she said to me
We can make it if we slip out quietly
I'd like to help you in your desire to be free
There must be fifty ways to get to safety
The store clerks probably won't mind if we intrude
Furthermore, I hope my directions won't be lost or misconstrued
I won't repeat myself at the risk of being rude
There must be fifty ways to get to safety
Fifty ways to get to safety
You just slip out the back, Jack
Stay clear of the van, Stan
Grab the baseball bat, Pat
Just get yourself free
Don't hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just follow me, Lee
And get yourself free
She said we really must be heading to the door
They're at the elevators and they're headed to this floor
I said I'll grab this bat and would you please explain
About the fifty ways
She said there's really no time left now to explain
I wish I had my purse and all that it contains
And as she ran away I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to get to safety
Fifty ways to get to safety
You just slip out the back, Jack
Stay clear of the van, Stan
Grab the baseball bat, Pat
Just get yourself free
Don't hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just follow me, Lee
And get yourself free
