Was it the heady feeling
The thrill of opportunity
Do you know your misdemeanour
Has shamed the whole community

Why did you take the money
Why did you have to steal it
I know you took the money
Your mother couldn’t believe it

Big cheese, you got the power
Must make you irresistible, huh?
These days an honest feller
Seems like a flaming radical

Why did you take the money
Why did you have to steal it
I know you took the money
Your lover couldn’t believe it
