Big Jake and slow talking Benny
took a night off from the kill
went down to the copper penny
and split without paying the bill
well... I asked the night manager
if he thought that was cool
he said no

Jake and Benny took off from the jungle
with a case of colt 45
somewhere down the line the plans got bungled
that's the last time they were seen alive
well... you get lucky once, you get lucky twice
and you're on your own
doing 50 in a 25, 50 in a 25, 50 in a 25 zone

Yeah, some people keep their hands in other people's pockets
and everybody else is on the take
man, I'd be last one around to knock it
it's just that I'm holding out for higher stakes
Well... you get lucky once, get lucky twice
and you're on your own
doing 50 in a 25, 50 in a 25, 50 in a 25 zone

Another case of early retirement
another easy alibi
they're all lined up on the pavement
and justice comes down by and by
by and by
50 in a 25 zone
