On the dark, misty cobblestones in London's East End
There lived Leather Apron, a butcher's best friend
He took the local harlots and the downtrodden dregs
And carved them like a beast from their neck down to their legs
The canonical five victims still scream their gory tale
And try as they might, Scotland Yard would not prevail
He was the White Chapel Killer, he was the demon in the night
He was the bloody beast of London, and claimed a sacrificial rite
He was the terror in the darkness and he would never see a cell
They called him a Ripper
He was Saucy Jack from Hell

Found Mary Ann Nichols, then Annie Chapman next week
Lizzy Stride and Cathy Eddowes couldn't sate that bloody freak
Lastly, Mary Jane Kelly, whom he slaughtered like a hog
Ripped her body limb from limb, and fled into the London fog
The last slaying most heinous, most evil and macabre
He took a full two hours to do his ghoulish job
He was the White Chapel Killer, he was the demon in the night
He was the bloody beast of London, and claimed a sacrificial rite
He was the terror in the darkness, he would never see a cell
They called him a Ripper
He was Saucy Jack from Hell
It's been over a hundred years since these killings took place
Go online, see for yourself, the victims' tortured face
He was never caught, that killer king who taught us how to fear
For decades when the darkness fell,
We clung to those that we held dear
Don't go out at night, cried the women in '88
For if the Ripper finds you, such will be your fate
He was the White Chapel Killer, he was the demon in the night
He was the bloody beast of London, and claimed a sacrificial rite
He was the terror in the darkness, he would never see a cell
They called him a Ripper
He was Saucy Jack from Hell
He was the White Chapel Killer, he was the demon in the night
He was the bloody beast of London, and claimed a sacrificial rite
He was the terror in the darkness, he would never see a cell
They called him a Ripper
They called him a Ripper
They called him a Ripper
He was Saucy Jack from Hell
