Lyrics
The streets were deserted
The police were alerted
They considered the bomb a hoax
They thought it had gone
Seeing and jauntily prancing
The youth conflict guards somewhere
Slipping between them
He ought to have seen them
Their eyes and their own were so near
Moon torch shining bright
He strode on in the night
Till he came to the room with the safe
Hello son, I hope you're having fun
You've got it wrong, sir, I'm only the cleaner
With that he fired, the other saying as he died
You done me wrong, it's the same old song
Forever, forever
Robbery, assault and battery
The felon and his felony
Robbery, assault and battery
The felon and his felony
He picked up the diamonds
In bundles of fivers
And pushed them well down in his sock
But the long-of-been-sounding
Was completely surrounded
He had some more tricks up his sleeve
Come outside with your hands held high
You won't get me alive, sir, I promise you that, sir
With that he fired, the other saying as he died
You done me wrong, it's the same old song
Forever, forever
Robbery, assault and battery
The felon and his felony
Robbery, assault and battery
The felon and his felony
He's leaving via the roof
The boss has gone away
God always fights
On the side of the bad man
Bad man
Bad man
Bad man
I've gotten away but I'll be back some day
Just the combination will change
Some day they'll catch me
To a chain they'll attach me
Until that fairer, brighter old crime wanes
If they try to hold me for trial
I'll stay out of jail by paying my bail
After I go to the court of appeals
Saying you done me wrong, it's the same old song
Forever, forever
Done me wrong, same old song
Done me wrong, same old song
Done me wrong, same old song
Done me wrong, same old song
Done me wrong, same old song
Done me wrong, same old song
Done me wrong, same old song
Done me wrong, same old song
Done me wrong, same old song
