Out tonight John, out tonight
Out on the streets I'm watching your windows
Lookin' for a way to get in
Keep a lock on your television
Or you won't be doing much viewing
Trying your doors sliding down the drainpipes
I come creepin' in the night
Some people say it's not a living but even burglars gotta eat
I believe in class distinction cos I only rob the rich
I don't come from Sherwood forest it all goes in my pocket
When policeman come a chasin' lookin' for someone to nick
They don't have a chance to catch me cos I'm up to all their tricks
