The Pickpockets Songtext
von Brendan Perry

Down in Le...
Hey! Down in Le...
Down in Lemonadika

Down in Lemonadika
There′s a commotion going on
They've just caught two pickpockets
Who are now both playing dumb

The handcuffs...
Hey! The handcuffs...
They′ve put them both in handcuffs

They put them in handcuffs
And led them off to jail
And if the wallets are not found
They'll beat them both into the ground

Mister police...
Hey! Mister police...
Mister policeman, don't beat us


Mister policeman, do not beat us
Since you well know, it is true
That this is our only work
And so no kick-back is due

Oh yes, we steal
Hey! We steal
It′s us that steal the wallets

It′s us that steal the wallets
And us that will be beaten up
So they will often put us
Behind those big prison doors

Down in Le...
Hey! Down in Le...
Down in Lemonadika

It's us that steal the wallets
And us that will be beaten up
It′s not death that really scares us
But the fear of hunger does
