Στοίχοι: These United States. Honor amongst thieves.

Having first left the tavern laid a tie upone the door knob
Little john awoke at noon and went to find a day job
Stumbling home much later through the evening just before
Samuel Clemens saw that tie was dangling from the door
And he said I better find another place where I can sleep
Just one more hiding hole to put a secret I can keep
You know there's a certain honor amongst, an certain honor amongst thieves
There's a certain honor amongst, an certain honor amongst thieves

Discombobulated as a boxer on her last leg
Lovely Lucy lamented that she'd hate to have to beg
And though she wouldn't neccesarily mind just one simple burglary
She'd have to check if Sam was sold, he almost certainly Would be
Little John might balk at first but then he would believe
You know that rascal always had a shotgun hidden up his sleeve
Oh there's a certain honor amongst, an certain honor amongst thieves
There's a certain honor amongst, an certain honor amongst thieves

Sometimes when they journeymen would drop by unannounced
They'd crash upon the hallway floor, get drunk and make sad sounds
They swear upon their mothers grave the next time they'd pay rent
It might have been different had they even been friends
But what can you expect in a tenement building of ill repute
Plus see Lu, She had thing for one she dubbed to cute to make leave
There's that certain something again, that certain something amongst thieves
There's that certain something again, that certain something amongst thieves

Oh so watchout Samuel Clemens here comes Johnny with his jack knife
Having just left the tavern determined to take the live life
It might as well be yours you know exactly what I mean man
I don't know what he heard, oh but I sure now what he's seen man
You got to run him 'round till he's tired he'll forget she even cheats
And though he dont really mean it he is just a little peeved
And there are certain honors amongst, some certain honors amongst thieves
There are certain honors amongst, some certain honors amongst thieves

You may now be wondering what my part in all this mess is
You prefer your puzzle piece together I think that's precious
These United States
