JAKE THE SNAKE ?? SPENCER BOHREN, May 1991

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
