Crime Don't Pay Lyrics & Tabs by Joe Jackson Band

Crime Don't Pay

guitar chords lyrics

Joe Jackson Band

I got drunk with a real nice guy last night
In a mood to talk or fight
And he said, "What's the matter

You don't look like you do so bad"
I said, "I just been taking for everything I had
Someone took a fancy to my wallet and my coat
So what you smiling at, ain't you been in that boat?
It's something that there really should be
Something done about"
He said, "Don't knock it, Sonny
That's the way I started out
And now I got a nice suit, I got a nice car
It's been a nice day
Don't tell me that crime don't pay, okay"

It's been a nice day
Don't tell me that crime don't pay, okay"
