1. HEY YOU

You’re living in a small town
The people there are cold
Just living in a small town
Just doing as you’re told
You move up to the jungle
You find that it’s a hell
When you slip, you fall, you stumble
They lock you in a cell

Hey you, you’ve got it made
Hey you, you’ve got it made
Hey you, you’ve got it made
Hey you, all your friends told you in your small town
Hey you, you’ve got it made

Just living in your home town
Sometimes it’s kinda cruel
Living in your home town
Where they treat you like a fool
You move up to the city
You find that it’s tough
And it doesn’t seem very pretty
Now you’re sleeping in the rough

Hey you, you’ve got it made
Hey you, you’ve got it made
Hey you
You’ve got it made
Hey you
You’re heading for the big time
Hey you, you’ve got it made
You’re headed for a life of crime

Living in this jungle
It’s like living in a hell
When you slip, you fall, you stumble
They lock you in a cell
You move out to the country
For something you have done
You’re living in the country
Why don’t you go back to where you come from?

Hey you, you’ve got it made
Hey you, you’ve got it made
Hey you, you’ve got it made
Hey you, you’ve got it made
Hey you, you’ve got it made

Forget all these backslappers
You don’t stand a chance
Why don’t you go home?
Go right back to where you come from
Don’t get involved in this masquerade
This big city is going to eat you up
All the backslapping
Hey you, you’ve got it made


2. KILLER ON THE LOOSE

Some people they call me jack
Some people they call me insane
I'm looking for somebody
And i don't even know her name
I might be looking for you
Wherever you may be
For there is something i've got to do to you honey
And it's between you and me
Now you might think it's fun
Or maybe it's a joke
But you've got plenty of reason to worry honey
'Cause you wouldn't stand a hope

There's a killer on the loose again
A killer on the loose
There's a killer on the loose again
A ladykiller on the loose

Now i'm not trying to be nasty
Or i'm not trying to make you scared
But there's a killer on the loose
Or haven't you heard
He'll be walking around this town
Just about midnight
Yes, that's chinatown
That's right
That's right

Now you might think i'm messing
Or he don't exist
But honey i'm confessing
I'm a mad sexual rapist

There's a killer on the loose again
A killer on the loose
There's a killer on the loose again
A ladykiller on the loose

"I'll be standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for you
Don't unzip your zipper
'Cause you know i'm jack the ripper
Now don't wail, don't..."

There's a killer on the loose again
Standing in the shadows
A killer on the loose
There's a killer on the loose again
Coming to get you
A ladykiller on the loose
There's a killer on the loose again
Standing in the shadows of love

A killer on the loose
There's a killer on the loose again
A ladykiller on the loose
There's a killer on the loose again
Standing in the shadow
A killer on the loose, of love
There's a killer on the loose again
Oooh
A lady killer on the loose
You better watch out
There's a killer on the loose again
A killer on the loose
Play that back
Check it back
There's a killer on the loose
