Thick As Thieves Lyrics - Midnight Souvenirs - Peter Wolf

Butchers walking down the street 

Thinking I'm a piece of meat 

They'd like to hang me on a hook 

Cut me up and call the cook 

Keep them bastards 'way from me 

I'm getting sick of thieves 

Every monkey in the tree 

Thick as thieves, thick as thieves 

Wants his coconuts for free 

Thick as thieves, thick as thieves 

Never seen no monkey yet 

Making good on any debt 

Time to pay and they forget 

I'm getting sick of thieves 

Known a lot of ladies fair 

Swear I was an answered prayer 

Now time gets tough and they get gone 

They take you there as George Washington 

Try to keep you on your knees 

I'm getting sick of thieves, yeah 

Ali Baba, I believe 

Thick as thieves, thick as thieves 

Had to deal with forty thieves 

Thick as thieves, thick as thieves 

When you think your work is done 

Here comes number forty one 

Always something up their sleeves 

I'm getting sick of thieves 

I'm getting sick of thieves 

I'm getting sick of thieves, yeah
