Stealin' from the rich and I'm out robbing banks Givein' to the poor and I always give thanks Because I've got more stories that J.D.'s got Salinger I hold the title and you are the challenger I've got money like Charles Dickens I've Got the girlies in the Couple like the Colonel's got the chickens And I always go out dapper like Harry S. Truman I'm madder than Mad's Alfred E. Newman
