Mr. Raffles
Man, it was mean to be seen in the robes you wore for Lent
You should've known that it was Easter
There for a while in your smile I could see Mexico blood say:
"This is true, I was a teaser"
There were a thousand manitas
being exchanged for pesetas
Man, it was hard not to laugh out loud
I couldn't believe the size of the crowd
You must have fooled them into coming
Wow, there was women and children too
They would have hanged us if they knew
I think I know for certain
Inside you sniggered so hearty
we only came for the party
Man, it was mean, it was mean
man it was mean
Remember the time
what a time, we had down in Barcelona
After you'd been slaying babies
There, for a time, I was fooled by your disguises
But I, I never thought of smashing rules
You wore the yellow bandana
and gave out heavenly manna
Then in Amsterdam you were perfect fun
You never let on that you had a gun
And then you shot the Spanish dancer
There, for a time, I was fooled by your disguises
But I, I never thought of smashing rules
Inside you sniggered so hearty
we only killed for the party
Man, it was mean, it was mean
man it was mean
Ooh-ooh, we're having a party
Ooh-ooh, we're having a party
Ooh-ooh, we're having a party
Ooh-ooh, we're having a party, yeah
Ooh-ooh, we're having a party
Ooh-ooh, we're having a party
Ooh-ooh, we're having a party
Ooh-ooh
