King of Thieves
I had forgotten all about `the case of the three pins`They said I must be crackedUntil the brown paper parcel landed on my welcome matEven the pretty secretaries who wouldn`t evenLet me hang my hatAll recognize my handwritingAnd return to sender as a matter of factIf I were you I'd change my name againThey don`t care what they do to you believe meThis is the coronation of the king of thievesHis occupation is the king of thievesHe can steal more than you can saveYou can take him on, but you`re not that braveI`ll tell your fortune in a minute or twoI might even tell you what comes nextThe moguls want a human sacrificeAnd look at that girl, young hungry and perplexedThey took away the best years of her lifeAh but it`s all in good funAnd if you kept you nose cleanYou can laugh now at the caring things they`ve doneI`ll write this story down, but you`ll never guess theFinal twistLetras de cancionesBlow the whistle on the whole designAs they find my name on that fatal mailing listI hear the clatter of a typewriterAnother rookie eating up the reamsI think it`s time to place my feet under the deskAnd put my mark on another man`s dreamsThis is the coronation of the king of thievesAnd look at that girlLook at that girlLook at that girl From Letras Mania
