The Robbery Lyrics

Willy Russell The Robbery

[NARRATOR, spoken]
There's a full moon shinin'
And a joker in the pack
The dealer's dealt the cards
And he won't take them back
There's a black cat stalking
And a women who's afraid there's no gettin' off
Without the price being paid

[SAMMY]
Don't mess about with me pal - I said: Give! This isn't a toy, y'know, we're not playin' games 'ere! You don't get up again if one o' these hits ya! What are ya doin'?! Hey, listen to me! Don't you touch that!

(A gunshot rings out)

[MICKEY]
Sammy!

[NARRATOR]
There's a man lies bleeding on a garage floor

[SAMMY]
Quick! Get 'in the 'ouse and bolt the door!

[NARRATOR]
And maybe if you counted ten
And kept your fingers crossed
It would all be just a game
Then no one would have lost

[MICKEY]
You shot 'im. You shot 'im!

[SAMMY]
I know I bloody did!

[MICKEY]
You shot 'im! You shot 'im!

[SAMMY]
Move! I've gotta get this hid!
