By The Docks ( Tik Tok Parody Dashiell Hammett Style)

Yes. I can't sing. But I can write song parodies. This one was my junior project extra credit. Lyrics:

Wake up in the morning feeling like Dashiell Hammett
A dame walks in my office and starts a racket
Before I answer her case I sip a glass of jack
Then I leave for San Francisco with my coat, gun and hat

I see gangster running booze, booze
Politicians who dont want to lose, lose
Murders coming in twos, twos
Crooks dividing up the take take
Things are certainly aint Jake, jake
Toss the bodys in the lake, laaaake

My writing dont stop
Theres a cop
Gonna shot someone up
Tonight,
Gang fight
Fight for justice and whats right
By the docks
Corrupt cops hear the sirens
Oh Oh Oh Ohhh Oh Oh Oh Oh OH
Oh Oh Oh Ohhh Oh Oh Oh Oh OH X2

I got solve my clients case before I disappear
But it turns shes been lying and Ive had it up to here
Shes some femme fatale trying to steal my heart
She will stab me in the back unless Im Humphrey Bogart

Im talking about twists turning me around, round
Black is white and up is down, down
Dead bodies on the ground, ground
Getting bumped off isnt fun, fun
Holding a smoking gun, gun
Close it with a pun, pun

My writing dont stop
Theres a cop
Gonna shot someone up
Tonight,
Gang fight
Fight for justice and whats right
By the docks
Corrupt cops, hear the sirens go
Oh Oh Oh Ohhh Oh Oh Oh Oh OH
Oh Oh Oh Ohhh Oh Oh Oh Oh OH X2

Gunsel, put your hands up,
Ill cut you down
Ill put a round
Through your face

In your face
With my first
Youre a lousy mug

Gunsel, put your hands up,
Ill cut you down
Ill put a round
Through your face

In your face
With my first
Youre a lousy mug

My writing dont stop
Theres a cop
Gonna shot someone up
Tonight,
Gang fight
Fight for justice and whats right
By the docks
Corrupt cops, hear the sirens go
Oh Oh Oh Ohhh Oh Oh Oh Oh OH
Oh Oh Oh Ohhh Oh Oh Oh Oh OH
