slim Jim Was A Stool Pidgeon
on The Payroll Of The Fbi
reverend Fred Sold Instant Religion
with A License From The Man In The Sky
billy The Kid Was A Gunslinger
edgar Wallace Was A Dead Ringer
me, I'm Just A Rock'n'roll Singer.

keyhole Pete Was A Keen Watcher
had A Telephoto Lens In Each Eye
jack The Ripper Was A Cool Stalker
but His Birds No Longer Fly
james Joyce Was A Mudslinger
and Jesus Christ Was A Forgiver
me, I'm Just A Rock'n'roll Singer.

i'm Not Fakin' It
foolin' Myself That I'm Makin' It
i'm Not Fakin' It
i'm Not Fakin' It.

tricky Dicky Was A Fast Talker
but His Promises Were Always A Lie
nostradamus Was A Doomwatcher
predicted When We're Gonna Die
cleopatra Was A Love Giver
jesse James Was A Born Killer
me, I'm Just A Rock'n'roll Singer.
