Mr Raffles Songtext
von Cockney Rebel

Man, it was mean to be seen in the robes you wore for Lent
You should′ve known that it was Easter
There for a while in your smile I could see Mexico blood say:
"This is true, I was a teaser"
There were a thousand manitas
Being exchanged for pesetas

Man, it was hard not to laugh out loud
I couldn't believe the size of the crowd
You must have fooled them into coming
Wow, there was women and children too
They would have hanged us if they knew
I think I know for certain

Inside you sniggered so hearty
We only came for the party
Man, it was mean, it was mean
Man it was mean


Remember the time
What a time, we had down in Barcelona
After you′d been slaying babies
There, for a time, I was fooled by your disguises
But I, I never thought of smashing rules
You wore the yellow bandana
And gave out heavenly manna

Then in Amsterdam you were perfect fun
You never let on that you had a gun
And then you shot the Spanish dancer
There, for a time, I was fooled by your disguises
But I, I never thought of smashing rules

Inside you sniggered so hearty
We only killed for the party
Man, it was mean, it was mean
Man it was mean

Ooh-ooh, we're having a party
Ooh-ooh, we're having a party
Ooh-ooh, we′re having a party
Ooh-ooh, we′re having a party, yeah

Ooh-ooh, we're having a party
Ooh-ooh, we′re having a party
Ooh-ooh, we're having a party
Ooh-ooh
