Jewel Thieves
Happy-go-Lucky Jewel Thieves: A Tale of Unlikely Heroes
Lyrics
We are happy-go-lucky Johnny-come-latelys
We are carefree individuals who recently joined a group or activity.
Millionaire beach boys in ten-cent shirts
We present ourselves as wealthy individuals enjoying the beach life, but our clothing is inexpensive.
And our pictures are in all the papers
Our photographs are featured in newspapers.
We stole a stone, for what it's worth
We stole a precious gem, though its value may be subjective.
We are jewel thieves
We engage in theft of jewels.
But we're such great guys
Despite being criminals, we are likable people.
That it's hard to believe
Our pleasant demeanor makes it difficult for others to believe our criminal activities.
We're so handsome they'll pay the ransom
We are attractive individuals, and people would be willing to pay a ransom for us.
We came in through an open window
We entered a place discreetly through an open window.
Above suspicion, behind closed doors
We were not suspected, and our actions took place in private.
We were double-crossed and we should have stayed single
We were betrayed in a situation where we should have remained single (uninvolved).
But we messed around with square broads
We got involved with straightforward and honest women.
We are jewel thieves
We continue our jewel theft activities.
With our hands In our pockets
We keep our hands in our pockets, and we are emotionally open.
And our hearts on our sleeves
Despite our criminal activities, we are emotionally vulnerable.
But when we were arrested we were bare-chested
When arrested, we were shirtless or exposed.
Simple Simon says:
A reference to a simple game, suggesting a lack of seriousness or regret.
Put your hands in the air
Instructions to surrender by raising hands.
Give back the diamond
Demand to return the stolen diamond.
We know it's here somewhere
Assurance that the stolen item is somewhere in our possession.
You've committed a crime
Acknowledgment of committing a crime.
And you're smiling like you don't care
Despite the crime, we show a lack of concern or remorse.
