The Strange Tale of Sid the Strangler

Public they get what we want

Blood on your hands never did wash easy

Oh, oh , oh

What we need is a good, clean story

To Good health! It's flying off the shelf

The tale of Sid the Strangler, he wrote it all himself

Oh oh oh

Skim through if it gets too gory

Oh what a fine man was he!

Built like a boxer should be!

The jewel in the gangland, the pride of his homeland to see!

Public they get what they want

Salt of the earth and he talks like we do

Oh, oh, oh

Loves his footy and Sunday roast too

Our Joan, She told me on the phone

The bit about the chinaman who couldn't pay his loan

Oh, oh, oh

Knew what he was getting into

Oh what a fine man was he!

Built like a boxer should be!

The jewel in the gangland, the pride of his homeland, to see!

Don't you be worried my friend

Women and children were safer back then

Never been shame in the torture and maiming of men

Rejoice in the streets my people!

And dance with the ex-criminals

Sure, they once broke the law

But that's what the prison's there for!

Are you really sure?

Oh what a fine man was he

Built like a boxer should be

And as for the stabbing

Well stranger things happen at sea

Don't you be worried my friend

Women and children were safer back then

Never been shame in the torture and maiming of men

Here we go again
