The Lyrics
I will not steal for you;
I’m not that kind.
No, robbin’ isn’t what I do. . .
won’t go riflin’
through jewels
or triflin’.
I know: you can’t stand it,
but I stand my ground
’cause I’m not a bandit.
You can demand it; I won’t back down.
Ain’t gonna steal for you—
stealing’s a crime,
bad crime.
Not for you
will I do
things I’d rue,
make me blue.
Thus my vow
Your temper flares,
you light into me,
we have a row,
you beat me.
OK! I’ll steal for you. . .
a life of crime.
I’m not that kind.
No, robbin’ isn’t what I do. . .
won’t go riflin’
through jewels
or triflin’.
I know: you can’t stand it,
but I stand my ground
’cause I’m not a bandit.
You can demand it; I won’t back down.
Ain’t gonna steal for you—
stealing’s a crime,
bad crime.
Not for you
will I do
things I’d rue,
make me blue.
Thus my vow
Your temper flares,
you light into me,
we have a row,
you beat me.
OK! I’ll steal for you. . .
a life of crime.

555! Hey JAB, you're almost at the 450 mark!!! I'm at 427...
I’m amazed that you can still keep coming up with new ideas for this OS. How about one for tomorrow called “Stuck in a chimney flue” about the kids who were forced to be chimney sweeps in the Victorian era?
I grow weary, but I push on. Thanks for the idea, Andy!
Key word JAB- push on. I too grow weary but am a production machine. My thanks to Andy too b/c there is another use for "Chimney Sweep" I just submitted! I wonder if anyone can figure it out in advance?
"In Too Deep"?
JAB, you've been at WhatFreaks too long!!! No, think military... nah, never mind... no one here will get it until I explain it to them :)
