Текст песни
The streets were deserted, though the police were alerted
They considered the phone call a hoax
Furtively glancing, then jauntily prancing
The youth caught the guards unaware
Slipping between them, he ought to have seen them
The eyes and their owner so near
With torch shining bright, he strode on in the night
'Til 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've done me wrong, it's the same old song forever and ever"
Robbery, assault, and battery
The felon and his felony
Robbery, assault, and battery
The felon and his felony
Picked up the diamonds and bundles of fivers
He pushed them well down in his sack
But the alarm had been sounded, he was completely surrounded
But he had some more tricks up his sleeve
Come outside with your hands held high
You'll not get me alive, sir, I promise you that, sir
With that he fired, the other saying as he died
"You've done me wrong, it's the same old song forever and ever"
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 bastard's got away
God always fights on the side of the bad man
Bad man, bad man, bad man
I've got clean away, but I'll be back some day
Just the combination will have changed
Some day they'll catch me, to a chain they'll attach me
Until that day, I'll ride the old crime wave
And if they try to hold me for trial
Well I'll stay out of jail by paying my bail
And after I'll go to the court of appeal saying
"You've done me wrong, it's the same old song forever and ever"
Done me wrong, same old song (done me wrong)
Done me wrong, same old song (done me wrong)
Done me wrong, same old song (done me wrong)
