Crime Don't Pay Lyrics - Joe Jackson

I got drunk with a real nice guy last night 

In a mood to talk or fight 

And he said, what's the matter 

You don't look like you do so bad 

I said I just been taking for everything I had 

Someone took a fancy to my wallet 

and my coat 

So what you smiling at-ain't you been in that boat 

It's something that there really should be 

Something done about 

He said don't knock it sonny 

That's the way I started out 

And now I got a nice suit 

I got a nice car 

It's been a nice day 

Don't tell me that crime don't pay 

Okay
