Robbery

[Verse]
Somebody came in the middle of the night
And stole my rock
Somebody crept in the early morning light
And stole my roll
Who stole the rock?
Who stole the roll?
Who stole the chords to a blue boys soul?
Oh mercy me, there's been a robbery!

[Verse]
Somebody snuck in the middle of the night
And stole my rock
Somebody crawled in the early morning light
And stole my blues
Who stole the rhythm?
Who stole the blues?
Who stole the only thing I got to lose?
Oh mercy me, there's been a robbery!

[Bridge]
How they did it nobody knows
Must have been walking on tip-toes
Must have slithered in like a snake
Well I'd have killed if I'd been awake

[Verse]
Somebody slipt in the middle of the night
And stole my notes
Somebody broke in the early morning light
And stole my keys
Who stole the notes?
Who stole the keys?
Who made off with my ivories?
Oh mercy me, there's been a robbery!
