On the day we pulled the bank job, Mugsy Baker he stopped some lead

He don't always pack the hardware but we sure did need some bread

Everything was running smoothly all the folks were cool and calm

Till some smartass he came the hero and then he sounded the alarm

Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals

Their only time time time Is fading away

Dead men don't tell no lies they don't need no alibi's

Their only time time time is wasting away

Soon the building was surrounded, not a chance to make a break

We was trapped the cops were closin' in them bullets were no fake

As the good guy he lay there bleedin' Me the bad guy I started to retch

Then old Mugsy he caught a ricochet We were heading for a stretch

Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals

Their only time time time Is fading away

Dead men don't tell no lies they don't need no alibi's

Their only time time time is wasting away

In the holdup there was Mugsy Me and Benjamin the bear

Mugs would rather go down fightin' just To save him from the chair

Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals

Their only time time time Is fading away

Dead men they don't tell no lies they don't need no alibi's

Their only time time time is wasting away
