The Ripper

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



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



All hear my warning

Never turn your back

On the ripper



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'



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



All hear my warning

Never turn your back

On the ripper...the ripper....the ripper
