You're in for surprise |
|
You're in for a shock |
|
In London town streets |
|
When there's darkness and fire |
|
When you least expect me |
|
And you turn your back |
|
I'll attack |
|
I smile when |
|
I'm sneaking |
|
Through shadows by the wall |
|
I laugh when |
|
I'm creeping |
|
But you won't hear me at all |
|
All hear my warning |
|
Never turn your back |
|
On the ripper |
|
You'll soon shake with fear |
|
Never knowing if |
|
I'm nearI'm sly and |
|
I'm shameless |
|
Nocturnal and nameless |
|
Except for ' |
|
The Ripper' |
|
Or if you like ' |
|
Jack the knife' |
|
In your back alley street |
|
Is where we'll probably meet |
|
Underneath a gas lamp |
|
Where the air is cold and damp |
|
I'm a nasty surprise |
|
I'm a devil in disguise |
|
I'm a footstep at night |
|
I'm a scream of the sight |
|
All hear my warning |
|
Never turn your back |
|
On the ripper, the ripper, ripper |
