The Lyrics

MANNY BALESTRERO:
“I’m not, I’m telling you,
The stealing kind.
I am no robber, didn’t do. . .
You’re implyin’
What you’re implyin’.”

POLICE:
“We know you’re the bandit
That’s been goin’ ’round
Stores and sayin’, ‘Hand it
Over!’ Man, we have hunted you down.

“And now we’re tellin’ you
That you’ll do time
For crime.”

MANNY:
Didn’t do
It; can’t you
See that you
Up have screwed!”

Justice found:
Other cops snare
The guy who truly
Made the rounds
Of stealing.

For Manny, hell anew:
Wife’s lost her mind.
