Lyrics

Tommy Gun Jive

Making lots of money
Got a brand new bag
And it?s not 9 to 5
I make my own hours
And you say, ?How?s That?
Well I?m doing that Tommy Gun Jive
Tommy gun jive
Tommy gun jive

You know you?ll never ever get a way with it spats
You know we want you dead or alive
I?m gonna take you down
And it?s a fact ?When?s That?
It?s when you?re doing your Tommy gun jive
Tommy gun jive
Tommy gun jive
Tommy gun jive
Tommy gun jive

Night falls
The town?s alive
Waiting for the rat a tat of Tommy gun jive
With the password ?Gin?
Then we?re all let in
Waiting for the flappers and the booze to arrive
Well we?re packing heat
You don?t know who you?ll meet
Keep the engine running on your car in the street
Then the siren?s wail
There must have been a tail
You missed!

I finally got the chance to make it really big
And everybody knows I?m alive
When I walk in a place they never say, ?Who?s That?
Because they know me from my Tommy gun jive
Tommy gun jive
Tommy gun jive

Chased you down the alley
Thought I had you trapped
But you jumped into your car and yelled, ?Drive?
This time I didn?t get you
But I will ?When?s That?
It?s when you?re doing that Tommy gun jive
Tommy gun jive
Tommy gun jive
Tommy gun jive
Tommy gun jive
