There Goes A Tenner

Okay remember, okay remember That we have just allowed Half an hour, To get in, do it and get out. The sense of adventure Is changing to danger I go in, The crime begins My excitement Turns into fright All my words fade What am I gonna say? Mustn't give the game away We're waiting We got the job sussed This shops shut for business The look-out has parked the car But kept the engine running Three beeps means trouble's coming I hope you remember, To treat the gelignite tenderly for me I'm having dreams about things Not going right, Let's leave in plenty of time tonight Both my partners Act like actors, You are Bogart He is George Raft That leaves Cagney and me. We're waiting You blow the safe up Then all I know is I wake up, Covered in rubble, One of the Rabble, Needs Mummy, The Government will never find the money, I've been here all day, A star in strange ways Apart from a photoeraph They'll get nothing from me Not until they let me see My solicitor. Ooh I remember That rich windy weather When you would carry me, Pockets floating in the breeze There goes a tenner Hey look, there's a fiver There's a ten shilling note Remember them? That's when we used to vote for him.
