Lyrics The Real Ripper - Kirsty MacColl

The Real Ripper

When youre out there lying in the sun
Hes the one who keeps his clothing on Youd never know him on a train or a bus
cos he looks just like the rest of us In the middle of the night its a different story
Dont let him catch you all alone
The real ripper
… … your pay packet (?)
The real ripper
Wearing a dinner jacket
Ask anyone you meet and theyll say the same
Noone is quite sure of his name
Keep your hand on your heart but hes gonna get you
Hes gonna make you toe the line
Hes the … laden master of disguise
And he invented high rise
On the council theyre respectable and … (?)
A bounce around the clock and turn away (?)
Ask anyone you meet and theyll say the same
Noone is quite sure of his name
The real ripper
He went to school today
The real ripper
Took all the books away
Keep your hand on your heart but hes gonna get you
Hes gonna make you toe the line
