The Robbery 1995 London Cast Version by Willy Russell Lyrics
[spoken]
[NARRATOR]
There's a full moon shinin'
And a joker in the pack
The dealer's dealt the cards
And he won't take them back
There's a black cat stalking
And a women who's afraid there's no gettin' off
Without the price being paid
[SAMMY]
Don't mess about with me pal - I said: Give! This isn't a toy, y'know, we're not playin' games! You don't get up again if one o' these hits ya! What are ya doin'?! I said listen to me! I said - don't you touch that! Listen!
[A GUNSHOT RINGS OUT]
[MICKEY]
Sammy!
[NARRATOR]
There's a man lies bleeding on a garage floor
[SAMMY]
Quick! Get 'in the 'ouse and bolt the bleedin' door!
[NARRATOR]
And maybe if you'd counted ten
And kept your fingers crossed
It would all be just a game
Then no one would have lost
[MICKEY]
You shot 'im. You shot 'im!
[SAMMY]
I know I bloody did!
[MICKEY]
You shot 'im! You shot 'im!
[SAMMY]
Move! I've gotta get this hid!
[NARRATOR]
There's a full moon shinin'
And a joker in the pack
The dealer's dealt the cards
And he won't take them back
There's a black cat stalking
And a women who's afraid there's no gettin' off
Without the price being paid
[SAMMY]
Don't mess about with me pal - I said: Give! This isn't a toy, y'know, we're not playin' games! You don't get up again if one o' these hits ya! What are ya doin'?! I said listen to me! I said - don't you touch that! Listen!
