Soon as I get this door unlocked well as soon as I get this bar removed or as soon as I bribe this guard outside I'm finally screwed! My Game to lose I was the best there ever was at what I did (but so were you) I'm finally screwed! I have no chance I am the fattest, slowest rat in a castle full of cats It came down to freedom or to gold I got caught 'cause I tried to choose both Oh captain Stanley I think you have proved your point this staring contest through the bars won't serve a purpose in this joint and the sniper pointed at me, well, is certainly a choice but Captain Stnaley you seem to forget There's a reason there's 100 million bounty on my head all the governments have sought me but no one has claimed me yet so as soon as I (pow!) well maybe if I (ping!) uh... oh... noooooo I'm finally screwed!
