Lyrics Stool Pigeon - Live at Satory Halls Cologne, 03.06.1982 - Kid Creole And The Coconuts

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 jewelery
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

There's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside-down, Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
