Christmas 2014
Robber Baby
Robber
Baby, pull that rope around the arms Of me.
been an awful good girl, Robber baby,
so hurry through the window tonight.
Robber
baby, Please use the scarf near you,
Light blue.
It’ll keep me nice and quiet, that’s true,
Robber baby, so hurry through the window tonight.
Think
of all the jewels you’ll find,
Think of the helpless girl you’ll have to bind,
Next year I can look just as good,
But I want you to come in and be so kind,
Robber
baby, I wanna feel,
the tape from the red roll you peel,
Been an angel all year,
Robber baby, so hurry through the window tonight.
Robber
honey, there's something you need to stuff,
That cloth
Into my little mouth,
Robber honey, so hurry through the window tonight.
Robber
cutie, and pull the rope tight around my knees,
Yes please.
And pull my ankles right back,
Robber cutie, and hurry through the window tonight.
Come
and tie me on the bed
Wrap one more big scarf around my head,
I really do want you to,
Let's see if you will fulfil my dreams,
Robber
baby, please leave me one thing you won’t miss,
A kiss.
On my forehead as you go,
Robber baby, so hurry through the window tonight,
Hurry through the window tonight,
Hurry, tonight.
Just
hear those alarm bells
ringing and green lights flashing round too
Come on we need to break free
and get out as fast as can be
I know the ropes are rubbing
and you are calling “Hllpp” too...
But until we get this tape off
Nobody knows I’m here with you
Twist the wrists, Twist the wrists,
Twist the wrists, Oh no!
The knot just won’t go,
and our arms are tied tighter than before
Can you push, can you push, can you push
and stand, while I’m holding your hand
then we can jump to the side and then I can try
to get that knife I see.
Our cheeks are flushed and reddy
and I feel unsteady, you see...
Were tied so tight
together like birds of
a feather would be
Lets try to move together
and not fall over, you’ll see,
Come on its
worth us trying and defying
what the masked men said to me
I know they surprised us when they came through the
door today
And they tied and gagged us before going on their way
but if we hop along and stay very strong we can reach the bench ‘oer there
and then we can try and cut the rope without
a care.
There's a happy feeling nothing in the
world can buy,
when they pass around the
coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll be like a picture print, by Currier and Ives
these wonderful things are the things we remember
through our lives!
Just hear those alarm bells
ringing and green lights flashing round too
Come on we need to break free
and get out as fast as can be
So make one more jump and see
if we can now get free
That’s it I can rub on the ropes now and then we can both
be free
be free
be free
you and me...
