Robbery, Assault and Battery Songtext

The streets were deserted though the police were alerted
They considered the phone call a hoax.
Furtively glancing then jauntily prancing
The youth caught the guards unaware
Slipping between them he ought to have seen then
The eyes and their owner so near
With torch shining bright he strode on in the night
Till he came to the room with the safe

"Hello son, I hope you′re having fun."
"You've got it wrong Sir, I′m only the cleaner."
With that he fired, the other saying as he died
"You've done me wrong,"
It's the same old song forever, forever

Robbery, assault and battery
The felon and his felony
Robbery, assault and battery
The felon and his felony


He picked up the diamonds and bundles of fivers
And pushed them well down in his sack
But the alarm had been sounded, he was completely surrounded
But he had some more tricks up his sleeve

"Come outside with your hands held high."
"You′ll not get me alive Sir, I promise you that Sir."
With that he fired, the other saying as he died
"You′ve done me wrong,"
It's the same old song forever, forever

Robbery, assault and battery
The felon and his felony
Robbery, assault and battery
The felon and his felony

"He′s leaving via the roof, the bastard's got away.
God always fights on the side of the bad man,
Bad man, bad man, bad man."


"I′ve got clean away but I'll be back some day,
Just the combination will have changed.
Some day they′ll catch me, to a chain they'll attach me
But until that day I'll ride the old crime wave
If they try to hold me for trial
I′ll stay out of jail by paying my bail
And after I′ll go to the court of appeal saying
'You′ve done me wrong,' it′s the same old song forever, forever."

Done me wrong same old song done me wrong
Same old song – done me wrong – same old song
Done me wrong same old song done me wrong
Same old song done me wrong same old song
Done me wrong same old song done me wrong
Same old song done me wrong same old song
