Once I Was a Thief - Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers

Once I Was a Thief Lyrics

Aaay-Oh! Aaay-Oh!
Once I was a thief, now I'm getting robbed
Yesterday a rebel, today I'm just a snob
Last night I was king of gypsies, this morning I'm a slob
Once I was a thief, now I'm getting robbedBut hey, did you get lucky on the inside?
Hey Hey! Did you get lucky on the inside?Aaay-Oh! Aaay-Oh!
Once a cool heretic 'til I turned orthodox
Came to cure the lepers, and caught the chicken pox
I went to sea a buccaneer and I washed ashore a swab
Once I was a theif, now I'm getting robbedBut hey, did you get lucky on the inside?
Hey Hey! Did I get lucky on the inside too?
Instead of waiting in the long, long queue after a ride so brief
Once I was thief, Once I was a thiefI used to steal so many hearts, now I'm just watching stocks
Swore I'd die with boots on, now I'd settle for my socks.
Took the road less travelled, but I got trampled by the mob
Once I was a thief, now I'm getting robbed
Once I as a thief, now I'm getting robbedBut hey, did you get lucky on the inside?
Hey Hey! Can we get luck on the inside?

Hey! Could I get lucky on the inside too?
Instead of waiting in the long, long queue after a ride so brief
Once I was thief, Once I was a thief, Once I was a thief.
