Drew inspiration from a need
 So many problems to crack
 And mouths to feed
 Crooked was the path
 And brazen was the walk
 A cocky swagger, up the ladder
 And could he ever talk
 The last hurrah?
 Nah! I'd do it again
 The Rascal King behind the bars
 Or the one in front of them
 The love of God
 And constant contradictions
 With just a smile, wink or nod
 What's stranger fact or fiction?
 And never ceasing to amaze
 On a regular basis
 First hand into his pocket
 Or first fist into the faces
 The last hurrah?
 Nah! I'd do it again
 The Rascal King behind the bars
 Or the one in front of them
 A legendary character
 When?
 Only then Where?
 Only there
 A hero or a hooligan?
 Well, that part's never clear
 Pride or shame, it's all the same
 Who's innocent or who's to blame?
 Politics or just a game?
 Well in the end they knew his name
 The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again
 The Rascal King behind the bars
 Or the one in front of them
