Little Criminals don't look back Got a wheel in the slime And a wheel off the track And one'll get you five'll Get you ten greenbacks Just a second story man In a cul - de - sac And in the middle of the night When all is quiet You'll be shimmyin' and jemmyin' And changing your name Chorus ~ Please don't take them No don't break them Leave them where they lie They must be dreaming aah aah They must be dreaming aah aah Little criminals don't look down A Casino Jesus in a Cabbagetown Just a Saratoga Hefner in your dressing gown Kissing little buttercup who's this clown Kissing little buttercup who's this clown And in the middle of the night When all is quiet You'll be shimmyin' and jemmyin' And changing your name Chorus ~ x 3 Please don't take them No don't break them Leave them where they lie They must be dreaming aah aah ~ x 4
