Legs that weaken at the knee Toe's that tremble when they meet with The Thief He stands to pose a witty smile Grinning like a crocodile was The Thief He'll throw some roses in your hair Degagé your body till it's bare, oh The Thief He'll leave you naked in the streets Witnessed by the apple tree Was the feat of the The Thief He wanders through the Rué Bayou Here's a man with nothing to do Except defile you Thief No one knows from where he came They hung ten men who got the blame For the actions of the thief Go along to steal again singing La la la la la la la He wanders through the Rué Bayou Here's a man with nothing to do Except defile you Oh defile you Oh the thief Thief
