There's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside down, Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe, Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tjaIf you wanna squeal, said the F.B.I.
We can make a deal, make it worth your while
So he told them all and in return
He got a credit card and a ThunderbirdAnd the maximum security
Even after plastic surgery
So, go on and squeal, said the F.B.I.
We can make a deal, make it worth your whileThere's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside down, Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe, Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tjaAfter all the talk, then they wired him
And he took a walk with his crooked friends
And they joked about the good old days
And he recorded it on a reel of tapeHe caught the mug who did the forgery
And the babe in charge of larceny
So the F.B.I., they rewarded him
'Cause they like a guy who will stab a friendThere's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside down, Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe, Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tjaThere's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside down, Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe, Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tjaIf you wanna squeal, said the F.B.I.
We can make a deal, make it worth your while
So he told them all and in return
He got a credit card and a ThunderbirdHe got a spankin' new identity
And a condo' down in Miami
He bought a plane, a boat and jewelery
But he couldn't buy any companyThere's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside-down, Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe, Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tjaThere's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside-down, Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
