Stool Pigeon

There's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside-down
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no-one's safe
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
'If you wanna squeal', said the F.B.I.
'We can make a deal, make it worth your while'
So he told them all and in return
He got a credit card and a Thunderbird
And the maximum security, even after plastic surgery
'So, go on and squeal', said the F.B.I.
'We can make a deal, make it worth your while'
There's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside-down
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no-one's safe
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
After all the talk, then they wired him
And he took a walk with his crooked friends
And they joked about the good old days
And he recorded it on a reel of tape
He caught the mug who did the forgery
And the babe in charge of larceny
So the F.B.I., they rewarded him
'Cause they like a guy who will stab a friend
There's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside-down
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no-one's safe
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
There's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside-down
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no-one's safe
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
'If you wanna squeal', said the F.B.I.
'We can make a deal, make it worth your while'
So he told them all and in return
He got a credit card and a Thunderbird
He got a spankin' new identity
And a condo' down in Miami
He bought a plane, a boat and jewellery
But he couldn't buy any company
There's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside-down
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no-one's safe
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
