Butcher Pete (Part 1)

Butcher Pete (Part 1) is a song in Fallout 3 that plays on Galaxy News Radio. It was written and performed by Roy Brown. It is also played on Diamond City Radio in Fallout 4.

Background
 The song chronicles the exploits of "Butcher Pete," an exaggerated and lascivious character who makes sexual advances towards and romantically conquers every woman in town until he is eventually put in jail, whereupon he makes similar advances towards his cellmate.

Its lyrics also imply exaggerated sex and violence in stark contrast with the cheerful tone of the music, a dichotomy which is the hallmark of the Fallout series.

The tune is split between the two sides of the record, hence the phrase "Say, turn this record over, you ain’t heard nothing yet!" at the end. The second part continues the story of Butcher Pete, including his attempted trip to China and what might have been his end in the electric chair.

Lyrics
Hey everybody, did the news get around About a guy named Butcher Pete Oh, Pete just flew into this town And he’s choppin’ up all the women’s meat

[Chorus]

He keeps hackin’ and whackin’ and smackin’ He keeps hackin’ and whackin’ and smackin’ He keeps hackin’ and whackin’ and smackin’ He just hacks, whacks, choppin’ that meat

Butcher Pete’s got a long sharp knife He starts choppin’ and don’t know when to stop All you fellas gotta watch your wives ‘Cause Pete don’t care whose meat he chops

[Chorus]

Ever since Pete flew into town He’s been havin’ a ball Just cuttin’ and choppin’ for miles around Single women, married women, old maids and all

[Chorus]

Wakes up in the morning, half past five Chops from sunrise to sunset I don’t see how he stays alive Meat’s gonna be the death of ole Pete yet

[Chorus]

The police put Pete in jail Yes, he finally met his fate But when they came to pay his bail They found him choppin’ on his cell mate

[Chorus]

That Butcher Pete is a crazy man Tries to chop down the wind and the rain Just hacks on anything he can get Say, turn this record over, you ain’t heard nothing yet
