[Originally performed by Judas Priest]
|
|
You're in for surprise
|
You're in for a shock
|
In London town streets
|
When there's darkness and fog
|
When you least expect me
|
And you turn your back
|
I'll attack
|
|
I smile when I'm sneaking
|
Through shadows by the wall
|
I laugh when I'm creeping
|
But you won't hear me at all
|
|
All hear my warning
|
Never turn your back
|
On the ripper
|
|
You'll soon shake with fear
|
Never knowing if I'm near
|
I'm sly and I'm shameless
|
Nocturnal and nameless
|
Except for "The Ripper"
|
Or if you like "Jack The Knife"
|
|
Any back alley street
|
Is where we'll probably meet
|
Underneath a gas lamp
|
Where the air's cold and damp
|
I'm a nasty surprise
|
I'm a devil in disguise
|
I'm a footstep at night
|
I'm a scream of the fright
|
|
All hear my warning
|
Never turn your back
|
On the ripper...the ripper....the ripper
|
