The streets were deserted though the police were alerted
  They considered the phone call a hoax
  Furtively glancing the jauntily prancing
  The youth caught the guards unaware
  
  Slipping between them he ought to have seen the
  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
  
  Robbery, assault and battery
  The felon and his felony
  
  He picked up the diamonds and bundles of fivers
  He 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
  
  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"
  
  "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 side 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"
