Hit the street like a cop chasing robbers
Don't you look back my friend
I jumped the fence then I slipped round the corner
I hope now I'm out of sight
Why do I always seem to find myself in this kind of jam
I was just trying to be good
Sometimes it doesn't pay
Placing all your bets down in one go
And so now you know
You see me running out the back door
Like Geronimo
I tried to bluff a couple aces
Well that's how it goes
With a hop and a skip up the alley
Like a leaf that just blew away
I tipped my hat to the man on the corner
The sun's shining bright today
Why do I always seem to find myself in this kind of jam
I was just trying to be good
Sometimes it doesn't pay
Placing all your bets down in one go
Well so now you know
You see me running out the back door
Like Geronimo
I tried to bluff a couple aces
Well that's how it goes
Why do I always seem to find myself in this kind of jam
I was just trying to be good
But sometimes it doesn't pay
Placing all your bets down in one go
Well so now you know
You see me running out the back door
Like Geronimo
I tried to bluff a couple aces
Well that's how it goes
