And flipped the bastard, he rigged it, he rigged it
His face was ugly and not so much as a halo, oh, yeah, lo
His favorite color was black because
He stole it, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it

And one fine day, now it was typical
I was wonderful, he was critical
He lived down my street, owned a Jaguar
No matter where you are that's a girlies car

All around you, he never seen a word
He's always out of work, he's never seen a word
Got no gyro, he didn't need it though
He stole cars, you know

Though he had the sneakiness to lie
Such a lazy way to die, didn't try
Well, oh my

And all the girls were weeping when we said
That their bluebird days were dead
Go to bed, oh, instead

He stole it, he stole it, he crossed the wires
And flipped the bastard, he rigged it, he rigged it
His face was ugly and not so much as a halo, oh, yeah, lo
His favorite color was black because
He stole it, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it

And he chased them right down, from the batting cage
So we could catch him up, smash his pretty face
Bang, bang, bang, bang with the bluebird
And we were getting tanned by an armed band

He sped away past the studio
The cigarillo and the fratellio
We got wasted then we went to bed
Got the train instead

Though he had the cheekiness to lie
Such a lazy way to die, didn't try
Well, oh, my
(well, oh, my)

And all the girls were weeping when we said
That their bluebird days were dead
Were dead, oh, instead, oh, instead

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

He stole it, he stole it, he crossed the wires
And flipped the bastard, he rigged it, he rigged it
His face was ugly and not so much as a halo oh, yeah, lo
His favorite color was black because
He stole it, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it

He swiped it, he swiped it
And we don't care because we got us a payroll and banjo
[Unverified] a halo, oh, yeah, lo
His favorite color was black because
He stole it, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

And flipped the bastard, he rigged it, he rigged it
His face was ugly and not so much as a halo, oh, yeah, lo
