All right, but there's a blue and yellow observation car still on my friend Lieutenant Riley's desk I've already told him to check it Every big baby in your gang has probably had his mitts on it Well a complete fingerprint roundup is going to make your robbery a little risky, isn't it? It might even make killing me a little risky, too He's right louis. They'd know who to look for afterwards. You see it's not practical anymore Set up your sissy.
