Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a gentleman that's going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe
Stool pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha
[Verse 2]
If you wanna squeal, said the FBI
We can make a deal, make it worth your while
So he told it all and in return
He got a credit card and a Thunderbird
And the maximum security even after plastic surgery
So go on and squeal, said the FBI
We can make a deal, make it worth your while
[Verse 3]
There's a gentleman that's going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe
Stool pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha
[Verse 4]
After 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 tape
He caught the mug who did it in the forgery
And the babe in charge or larceny
So the FBI they rewarded him
Because they like a guy who will stab a friend
[Verse 5]
There's a gentleman that's going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe
Stool pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha
[Verse 6]
There's a gentleman that's going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe
Stool pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha
[Verse 7]
If you wanna squeal, said the FBI
We can make a deal, make it worth your while
So he told it all and in return
He got a credit card and a Thunderbird
He got a spanking new identity
And a condo down in Miami
He bought a plane, a boat and jewelry
But he couldn't buy any company
[Verse 8]
There's a gentleman that's going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe
Stool pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha
[Verse 9]
There's a gentleman that's going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha
