The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Sing Muse with passion of the pistol Sing Muse of the warning by the whistle On a night so dark in the waning A dawn obscured by slight sky raining, oh oh Five and twenty burglars by the reservoir A teenage lookout on the signal tower The mogul's daughter in hog-tie The mogul figures the wrong guy, all right It was a perfect, the perfect, the perfect The perfect, the perfect, the perfect crime It was a perfect, the perfect, the perfect The perfect, the perfect, the perfect crime The bagman's quaking at the fingers The hand-off glance a little lingers A well-dressed man in the crosshairs A shot rings out from somewhere upstairs It was a perfect, the perfect, the perfect The perfect, the perfect, the perfect crime It was a perfect, the perfect, the perfect The perfect, the perfect, the perfect crime It was the perfect crime It was like a ticker-tape parade When the plastique on the safe was blown away And we all gaze from eye to eye As we mouth our silent goodbyes The valley's sleeping like a bastard It stinks of slumber and disaster Two words are spoken with tap wire The agent's ploy finds a surefire backfire It was a perfect, the perfect, the perfect The perfect, the perfect, the perfect crime It was a perfect, the perfect, the perfect The perfect, the perfect, the perfect crime
