King Of Thieves

歌詞

I had forgotten all about 'The Case Of The Three Pins' They said I must be cracked Until the brown paper parcel landed on my welcome mat Even the pretty secretaries who wouldn't even let me hang my hat All recognize my handwriting and return to sender as a matter of fact If I were you I'd change my name again They don't care what they do to you believe me This is the coronation of the King of Thieves His occupation is the King of Thieves He'll steal more than you can save You can take him on but you're not that brave I'll tell your fortune in a minute or two I might even tell you what comes next The moguls want a human sacrifice And look at that girl, young hungry and perplexed They took away the best years of her life Ah but it's all in good fun And if you kept you nose clean You can laugh now at the caring things they've done If I were you I'd change my name again They don't care what they do to you believe me This is the coronation of the King of Thieves His occupation is the King of Thieves He'll steal more than you can save You can take him on but you're not that brave I'll write this story down, but you'll never guess the final twist Blow the whistle on the whole design As they find my name on that fatal mailing list I hear the clatter of a typewriter Another rookie eating up the reams I think it's time to place my feet under the desk And place my mark on another man's dreams If I were you I'd change my name again They don't care what they do to you believe me This is the coronation of the King of Thieves His occupation is the King of Thieves He'll steal more than you can save You can take him on but you're not that brave This is the coronation of the King of Thieves And look at that girl, look at that girl, look at that girl, look at that girl, look at that girl
