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
