Late last night while we were all sleeping
Into our town thieves came creeping
Smooth as silk but rotten to the core
They cleaned us out yeah they robbed the store
There wasn't a sound no alarm went off
They walked right in like the place was unlocked
They knew what was up they weren't messing round
The place was untouched... but the money's all gone
It was an inside job
It was an inside job
They robbed the church yeah they robbed the school
The robbed the diner and the drug store too
Little old lady down on lonesome lane
Funny, they didn't touch the bank
They stole the horse yeah they stole the plow
They stole the milk then they stole the cow
They stealing from me, they stealing from you
When the rooster guards the henhouse ain't nothing you can do
It was an inside job
It was an inside job
We've been robbed
It was an inside job
Sheriff John Brown always gets his man
Going to bring him for the judge anyway he can
Sheriff John Brown ain't nothing you can do
Cause the fat old judge; he's in on the deal too
Solo 1 (1x)
Fat cat skinny cat sitting on the fence
Skinny cat wonders where the cream all went
Skinny cat getting about mad as a hatter
Cause Skinny so skinny but Fat keeps getting fatter
Solo to fade out (5x)
