Lickity Split

 

Two balls down at the pawnshop,
A little joke amongst the boys,
Two bucks for a watchchain,
But tell me why get annoyed?

I heard someone complaining,
He thought his was worth a little more,
He let it slip just where it came from,
Now he's down by law.

I've been behind high walls,
And the Man won't catch me no more,
Best you be nimble,
Best you be quick,
If you hear somebody comin;
You better lickity split.

Lickity lickity lickity lickty split.

Now when they catch a theif in Egypt,
I heard they cut off the man's hands,
I wonder what's the procedure,
When they catch the wrong man.

Now that to me sounds a little bit stupid,
But I guess it depends on what he took,
'Cause if they just cut off the man's fingers,
Why can't he steal with his hook?

I've been behind high walls,
And that Man won't catch me no more,
Best you be nimble,
Best you be quick,
If you hear somebody comin;
You better lickity split.

Lickity lickity lickity lickty split.
Lickity lickity lickity lickty split.
