Thick As Thieves

Peter Wolf · Midnight Souvenirs [2010]

Butchers walking down the street

Thinking I'm a piece of meat

They'd like to hang me on a hook

Cut me up and call the cook

Keep them bastards 'way from me

I'm getting sick of thieves

Every monkey in the tree

Thick as thieves, thick as thieves

Wants his coconuts for free

Thick as thieves, thick as thieves

Never seen no monkey yet

Making good on any debt

Time to pay and they forget

I'm getting sick of thieves

Known a lot of ladies fair

Swear I was an answered prayer

Now time gets tough and they get gone

They take you there as George Washington

Try to keep you on your knees

I'm getting sick of thieves, yeah

Ali Baba, I believe

Thick as thieves, thick as thieves

Had to deal with forty thieves

Thick as thieves, thick as thieves

When you think your work is done

Here comes number forty one

Always something up their sleeves

I'm getting sick of thieves

I'm getting sick of thieves

I'm getting sick of thieves, yeah
