Lyrics[]
Can somebody change? Possible
Maybe it's strange, but it's possible
For my dearest companions and treasures
Have left them behind
I'll turn a leaf over
And who can tell who can tell what I may find
[Yes, young man?
And do I ha]ve the honor of your acquaintance?
Lined?
[Only the best. Lovely workmanship, ain't it?]
I'm reviewing the situation
Once the villain, you're a villain to the end
Your light fingers
Your inspiration
What a team
Am I your partner?
More a friend
For your talent is employable
So make your life enjoyable
A world with pockets open wide
Await your whim to grope inside
Collections undetectable
We might retire respectable
Together 'til our dying day
The living proof that crime can pay
I think we'll have to think it out again! Hey!
