Little Criminals don't look back
Got a wheel in the slime
And a wheel off the track
And one'll get you five'll
Get you ten greenbacks
Just a second story man
In a cul - de - sac

And in the middle of the night
When all is quiet
You'll be shimmyin' and jemmyin'
And changing your name

Chorus ~
Please don't take them
No don't break them
Leave them where they lie
They must be dreaming aah aah
They must be dreaming aah aah

Little criminals don't look down
A Casino Jesus in a Cabbagetown
Just a Saratoga Hefner in your dressing gown
Kissing little buttercup who's this clown
Kissing little buttercup who's this clown

And in the middle of the night
When all is quiet
You'll be shimmyin` and jemmyin`
And changing your name

Chorus ~ x 3

Please don't take them
No don't break them
Leave them where they lie

They must be dreaming aah aah ~ x 4
