Strange But True

Stop your sobbing kid before I shoot
Your nose is running on my only suit
Who'd have thought I share this dance with you
Looks like we're stuck together which is strange but true.

Yes you've caught me. Now the chase is done
You must admit I gave you quite the run
Mr. Tortoise, here's your rabbit stew
Looks like we're stuck together which is strange but true.

Tell Mr. Ripley at Believe It or Not
The show is over and he's all that I got
Hard to believe it, but we're tyin' the knot today
That's ok.

Frank!
Thank your public while you're still in your prime
They won't be seeing you for quite a long time
And after you pay for your life of crime
Well kid, we'll see what good behavior can do.

Til then, we're stuck together which is strange but true
Mr. Hanratty turns out to be as good as his word.

Frank was sentenced to 15 years years in prison but was released after 7 for good behavior
Carl and I became great friends and he even became the godfather to my kids
I set up my own security company and paid back every bad check I ever passed.

Alright, Frank, keep your promise. How did you cheat the bar exam?
I didn't cheat. I studied
You're kidding me! I hate this guy! How does he do it?
Hey, Mr. Lawyer, Mr. Two On The Aisle
You never can predict when fortune may smile.

In fact, I think I'm gonna break with tradition
And tell J. Edgar Hoover, baby, I've gone fishin'!
You're gonna take a day off.

You heard me!
I you had read this, you'd have said, "No way."
I almost made it look like crime does pay
There's lots of folks that I miss every day.

But now a new duet has made its debut
And now we're stuck together.

Oh yea!
Out of luck together
Oh yea!

And now we're stuck together which is strange
But True
Your junior partner came through
A simple case of monkey see, monkey do
Aw, come on. Hey, listen
I'm glad to be on your team
Frank, let's make some butter out of cream
That's really nice
Alright kid. Let's get outta here.
