Sneak Mcgraw Double crosses the king pin boss who gets skinny dupree to remove him but it all turns bad

Lyrics

1/SNEAK MCGRAW WAS A MEAN MEAN MAN AND AS BAD AS A MAN COULD BE
HE LIVED DOWNTOWN IN THE DOWNTOWN JUNGLE WHERE THE MOOD WAS DARK AND THE PLACE TO RUMBLE.
HAD A SWITCHBLADE KNIFE WITH A MONOGRAMMED BLADE , ONE HIT WAS ALL IT TOOK,
BUT HE DID A DOUBLE CROSS ON THE KINGPIN BOSS AND THAT WAS HIS BIG MISTOOK.

2/NOW THE KINGPIN BOSS HAD A FRIEND INDEED AND HIS NAME WAS SKINNY DUPREE, HE DIDN'T LOOK MUCH JUST SKINNY AND BONE AND JUMPY AS A HOUND DOG FLEA.
BUT HE KNEW HOW TO PLACE HIS DYN-O-MITE AND PUT IT WHERE IT SHOULD BE,
CAUSE BLOWING THINGS UP AND PEOPLE TO WAS HIS SPECIALITY.

CH/ DON'T TRY TO DOUBLE CROSS THE KINGPIN BOSS, HE'D NEVER GIVE A SECOND THOUGHT, HE'D SAY TO SKINNY DO A REAL GOOD JOB AND SKINNY HAD NEVER BEEN CAUGHT.
DON'T TRY TO DOUBLE CROSS THE KINGPIN BOSS 'LESS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A REAL BAD NIGHT, CAUSE SKINNY DUPREE WOULD DO A REAL GOOD JOB, VERY HANDY WITH HIS DYN-O-MITE.

3/WELL, LATE ONE NIGHT WHEN SNEAK FELT TIGHT DOWNTOWN IN THE KINGS DOMAIN, HE STOLE HIS CRACK. BUT THEN HE WENT BACK, HE WAS GREEDY AND HE WANTED SOME MORE OF THAT SMACK.
HE MADE ONE MISTAKE, IT WAS FAR TO LATE, LEFT HIS KNIFE LYING ON THE FLOOR,
SO THE KINGBOSS KNEW IT WAS SNEAKY'S KNIFE AND CALLED SKINNY ON THE TELEPHONE.

4/HE SAID, I DON'T WANNA SEE McGRAW NO MORE, I JUST WANNA SEE HIS BONES,
I DON'T WANT HIM HERE IN THE DOWNTOWN JUNGLE, CAUSE I'M THE KING AND I'M THE ONE TO RUMBLE,
MAKE SURE YOU GOT AN ALIBI THEN COME BACK HERE AND WE CAN BOTH GET HIGH.
BUT THE BOSS DIDN'T KNOW WHAT SKINNY WOULD DO, BUT HE HAD AN IDEA OF HIS OWN OR TWO,

5/ SO THE BOSS PHONED SNEAK SAID HE WANTED TO TALK, SAID I WANNA MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU, WE SHOULD GET TOGETHER MAYBE GO FOR A WALK AND DISCUSS THE SITUATION TO, BUT SKINNY DIDN'T KNOW WHERE THE BOSS WAS, WHEN SNEAK WALKED ACROSS THE BRIDGE,
SO HE PRESSED THE BUTTON FOR THE DYN-O-MITE AND THE WHOLE DAMN BRIDGE WENT FLYING SKY HIGH TAKING SNEAK AND THE KINGPIN BOSS TO THE DOWNTOWN SKY.
CHORUS 1

IF YOU GO DOWNTOWN IN THE EVENING AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A BAG TO BUY,
YOU CAN'T ASK SNEAK OR THE KINGPIN BOSS YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER GUY.
IF YOU GO DOWNTOWN IN THE EVENING AND YOU HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH,
YOU MIGHT SEE SNEAK AND THE KINGPIN BOSS GHOST DEALERS IN THE SKY

Chorus 2
DON'T TRY TO DOUBLE CROSS THE KING PIN BOSS HE'D NEVER GIVE A SECOND THOUGHT,
NOW SKINNY DUPREE IS THE KING PIN BOSS A POSITION THAT HE COULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT
DON'T TRY TO DOUBLE THE KINGPIN BOSS, LESS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A REAL BAD NIGHT,
CAUSE SKINNY DUPREE IS THE KINGPIN BOSS VERY HANDY WITH HIS DYN-O-MITE
REPEAT X 2
