Down in Le
Hey down in Le
Down in Lemonadika
Down in Lemonadika
There's a commotion going on
They just caught two pickpockets
Who are now both playing dumb
The handcuffs
Hey the handcuffs
They put them both in handcuffs
They put them in handcuffs
And led them off to jail
And if the wallets are not found
They'll beat them both into the ground
Mister police
Hey Mister police
Mister policeman don’t beat us
Mister policeman do not beat us
Since you well know it is true
That this is our only work
And so no kick-back is due
Oh yes we steal
Hey we steal
It’s us that steal the wallets
It’s us that steal the wallets
And us that will be beaten up
So they will often put us
Behind those big prison doors
Down in Le
Hey down in Le
Down in Lemonadika
It’s us that steal the wallets
And us that will be beaten up
It’s not death that really scares us
But the fear of hunger does
