Dillinger Eyes |
| I found honest work and lord knows I tried |
| I found honest work and lord knows I tried |
| Robbed a bank and ran from the fuzz |
| They asked the teller just who I was |
| She said «I don’t know, but he had John Dillinger’s eyes!» |
| For five long years I was wanted by the FBI |
| For five long years I was wanted by the FBI |
| I was shooting pool at the hall |
| Saw my poster up on the wall |
| «Ain't that you? |
| You got John Dillinger’s eyes!» |
| I caught one in my chest and two in my thigh |
| I caught one in my chest and two in my thigh |
| I saw a man rush to my side |
| Took a photograph as I died |
| And all because I was born with John Dillinger’s eyes! |
| That newspaper man won the Pulitzer Prize |
| That newspaper man won the Pulitzer Prize |
| He keeps it by his bed on a shelf |
| But one thing that he’ll never tell |
| Every day he thanks god for those John Dillinger’s eyes! |
