#62 Crazy Willie’s Last Stand

[Verse]

Crazy Willy had a plan

A genius in his mind

Said the world’s a treasure chest

Just waiting for my kind

He strolled into the bank

All swagger no disguise

Thought he was invisible

Oh how the fool flies

[Chorus]

Crazy Willy

You’re a clown in a crown

Thinkin’ you’re the king but the law’s got you down

Crazy Willy

Thought you’d break free

But the bars are callin’

That’s your destiny

[Verse 2]

He left his prints on the safe

His name on the note

Signed it with a flourish

“Catch me if you don’t”

Waved at the cameras

Gave ’em all a grin

Said I’m the sharpest blade but the dullest always win

[Prechorus]

Sirens howled

His heart stood still

The genius

Undone by his own thrill

[Chorus]

Crazy Willy

You’re a clown in a crown

Thinkin’ you’re the king but the law’s got you down

Crazy Willy

Thought you’d break free

But the bars are callin’

That’s your destiny

[Bridge]

He said

“I’m smarter than the cops

They’ll never catch me”

But tripped on his shoelace in front of the deputy

The judge shook his head

The jury laughed out loud

Willy’s face turned red as he cursed the crowd
