The Ripper

[Verse 1:]
You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock
In London town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your back
I'll attack.

[Verse 2:]
I smile when I'm sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when I'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all.

[Chorus:]
All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper.

[Verse 3:]
You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless
Nocturnal and nameless
Except for "The Ripper"
Or if you like "Jack The Knife".

[Verse 4:]
Any back alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp
I'm a nasty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream of the fright.

[Chorus:]
All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper
The ripper
The ripper.
