Okay, remember. 
Okay, remember 
That we have just allowed 
Half an hour 
To get in, do it, and get out. 

The sense of adventure 
Is changing to danger. 
The signal has been given. 
I go in. 
The crime begins. 

My excitement 
Turns into fright. 

All my words fade. 
What am I gonna say? 
Mustn`t give the game away. 

We`re waiting. 
We`re waiting. 
We`re waiting. 

We got the job sussed. 
This shop`s shut for business. 
The lookout has parked the car, 
But kept the engine running. 
Three beeps means trouble`s coming. 

I hope you remember 
To treat the gelignite tenderly for me. 
I`m having dreams about things 
Not going right. 
Let`s leave in plenty of time tonight. 

Both my partners 
Act like actors: 
You are Bogart, 
He is George Raft, 
That leaves Cagney and me. 
("What about Edward G.?") 

We`re waiting. 
We`re waiting. 
We`re waiting. 

You blow the safe up. 
Then all I know is I wake up, 
Covered in rubble. One of the rabble 
Needs mummy. 
("What`s all this then?") 
The government will never find the money. 
("What`s all this then?") 

I`ve been here all day, 
A star in strange ways.* 
Apart from a photograph 
They`ll get nothing from me, 
Not until they let me see my solicitor. 

Ooh, I remember 
That rich, windy weather 
When you would carry me, 
Pockets floating 
In the breeze. 

Ooh, there goes a tenner. 
Hey, look! There`s a fiver. 
There`s a ten-shilling note. 
Remember them? 
That`s when we used to vote for him.
