On the day we pulled the bank job, Mugsy Baker he stopped some lead
He don't always pack the hardware but we sure did need some bread
Everything was running smoothly all the folks were cool and calm
Till some smartass he came the hero and then he sounded the alarm
Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals
Their only time time time Is fading away
Dead men don't tell no lies they don't need no alibi's
Their only time time time is wasting away
Soon the building was surrounded, not a chance to make a break
We was trapped the cops were closin' in them bullets were no fake
As the good guy he lay there bleedin' Me the bad guy I started to retch
Then old Mugsy he caught a ricochet We were heading for a stretch
Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals
Their only time time time Is fading away
Dead men don't tell no lies they don't need no alibi's
Their only time time time is wasting away
In the holdup there was Mugsy Me and Benjamin the bear
Mugs would rather go down fightin' just To save him from the chair
Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals
Their only time time time Is fading away
Dead men they don't tell no lies they don't need no alibi's
Their only time time time is wasting away
