City morgue, you stab 'em, we slab 'em

Or you slice 'em, we ice (or dice, if you want gruesome) 'em

Joe's pool hall, 8 ball speaking

Sam's sanitarium, what nut do you want?

Town grocery, you want the fruit or the vegetable?

Bill's grill, where our meat fits your buns, how can we serve?

Bill's grill, where we shove our greasy meat in your mouth, how can we serve?

I've heard the morgue one before, but I heard it as, "You stab 'em, we bag 'em!"

My dad's one was always "You kill 'em, we chill 'em"

"Big Paul's Pool Hall, 8-ball speaking, shoot!"

That's the version I've always used.
