Lyrics
If you've got over fifty grand
You'd better split it ninety-nine different ways
If you've got over fifty grand
You'd better split it ninety-nine different ways
Then the racketeer's got no certain place to dig your grave
When they demand your money
You'd better give it up with a smile
When they demand your money
You'd better give it up with a smile
'Cause if you refuse then your friends'll
Read about you in a short little while
When the gang is out to get you
It don't do no good to run
When the gang is out to get you
It don't do no good to run
It's true you can dodge the law
But you can't dodge the slugs out of a machine gun
You slave hard for your money
Just to give it to some other one
You work hard for your money
Just to give it to some other one
And if you refuse then the answer will come from a racketeer's gun
When the gang is out to get you
They'll follow you everywhere
When the gang is out to get you
They'll follow you everywhere
You can move to West Hell, doggone, if they don't find you there
