He stole it, he stole it He crossed the wires And flipped the bastard He rigged it, he rigged it His face was ugly And not so much as a halo oh, yeah-lo His favourite colour was black because he stole it, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it
And one fine day, now It was typical I was wonderful He was critical He lived down my street Owned a Jaguar No matter where you are That's a girlies car All around you He never seen a word He's always out of work He's never seen a word Got no gyro He didn't need it though He stole cars, ya know
Though he had the sneakiness to lie Such a lazy way to die Didn't try Well oh my
And all the girls were weepin when we said That their bluebird days were dead Go to bed Oh instead
He stole it, he stole it He crossed the wires And flipped the bastard He rigged it, he rigged it His face was ugly And not so much as a halo oh, yeah-lo His favourite colour was black because he stole it, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it
And he chased them right down From the batting cage So we could catch him up Smash his pretty face Bang bang bang bang With the bluebird and We were getting tanned By an armed band He sped away Past the studio The cigarillo And the fratellio We got wasted Then we went to bed Got the train instead
Though he had the cheekiness to lie Such a lazy way to die Didn't try Well oh my (Well oh my)
And all the girls were weepin when we said That their bluebird days were dead Were dead Oh instead Oh instead
He stole it, he stole it He crossed the wires And flipped the bastard He rigged it, he rigged it His face was ugly And not so much as a halo oh, yeah-lo His favourite colour was black because he stole it, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it
He swiped it, he swiped it And we don't care because we got us a payroll and banjo [?] a halo oh yeah-lo His favourite colour was black because he stole it, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it
