Jake the Snake said, "This is how it's going down. We're grabbing all the cash We're getting out of town. We don't leave any witnesses, Don't want them hanging around. Anybody blows this scene Be six feet underground."
That's right . . . That's right.
Jake opens up the rifles And passes them around. "We don't take any chances- (Just) blow them suckers down. Fifteen million dollars, man, Sitting in that truck. Then we go to Mexico With any kind of luck.
That's right . . . That's right. That's right . . . That's right.
The sun came up that morning Like any other day. Jake the Snake was waiting When the truck came across the bay. Fell in right behind them, Followed them to the bank. The boys all knew just what to do. They didn't have a chance
There wasn't many people. It was just a little town. Just the same, there's no one left Who saw the deal go down. The thing came off like clockwork. No one will ever know. Then Jake the Snake and all his boys Went down to Mexico.
That's right . . . That's right. That's right . . . That's right.
But Jimmy cheated Jake at cards. Jake killed him with a knife. Joe and Johnny both got mad and took each others' life. Jake, he just said, "Que sera . . . Don't need them anyway." Then Jake was found dead last night. His heart stopped yesterday.
That's right . . . That's right.
So fifteen million dollars Is down in Mexico. And where Jake hid that money No one will ever know. A life of ease, a life that's high, A life that's lived with style. Crime, you know is pays alright, But only for awhile.
That's right . . . That's right. That's right . . . That's right.
