On the day we pulled the bank job, Mugsy Baker he stopped some lead 
He don't always pack the hardware but we sure did need some bread 
Everything was running smoothly all the folks were cool and calm 
Till some smartass he came the hero and then he sounded the alarm 

Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals 
Their only time time time Is fading away 
Dead men don't tell no lies they don't need no alibi's 
Their only time time time is wasting away 

Soon the building was surrounded, not a chance to make a break 
We was trapped the cops were closin' in them bullets were no fake 
As the good guy he lay there bleedin' Me the bad guy I started to retch 
Then old Mugsy he caught a ricochet We were heading for a stretch 

Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals 
Their only time time time Is fading away 
Dead men don't tell no lies they don't need no alibi's 
Their only time time time is wasting away 

In the holdup there was Mugsy Me and Benjamin the bear 
Mugs would rather go down fightin' just To save him from the chair 

Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals 
Their only time time time Is fading away 
Dead men they don't tell no lies they don't need no alibi's 
Their only time time time is wasting away
