Lyrics

Strong men tremble when they hear it! They've got cause enough to fear it! It's much blacker than they smear it! Nobody mentions My name! Rich men hold their five-pound notes out Saves me emptying their coats out They know I could tear their throats out Just to live up to My name! With me Jemmy in me hand Lemme see the man who dares Stop me Taking what I may He can start to say his prayers! Biceps like an iron girder Fit for doing of a murder If I just so much as heard a Bloke even whisper My name! Bill Sikes Some Toff, slumming wiv his valet Bumped into me in the alley Now is eyes'll never tally He'd never heard of My name! One bloke Used to boast the claim He could take my name in vain Poor bloke Shame 'e was so green Never was 'e seen again! Once bad What's the good of turning? In hell, I'll be there a burning Meanwhile, thing of what I'm earning All on account of My name! What is it? What is it? What is it? Bill Sikes
