![]() Here, here! Don't try warmin' up to me! Take it easy, Greasy, you've got a long way to slide! Far as I'm concerned, you're just a lost ball in the high weeds. ![]() My name has changed: I'm now known as 'Madame Roberta,' the celebrated cortesian. Just a minute, don't start off callin' me 'Ruby'. Boy, you're lookin' mighty sharp! You musta hit the numbers! I ain't jettin', I know you couldn't thumb your way across all that water and get to Paris. so it's you, Slinky Johnson! Turned up again like an imitation penny. Slinky Johnson, if I just had you here To tell you what's on my mind I ain't seen you in the best of a year But I understand your kind You'll come repenting for the way you carried on Hoping I'll be relentin' and let bygones be gone Though I love you still, our love affair's through I ain't takin' no chances with you You're just a thief in the night Nothin' but a thief in the night You came without a warnin' And left before the mornin' broke through I never knew I wouldn't see you again You're an education in men The one I had believed in Turned out to be a thief in the night And oh how I've worried and fretted And got myself in a pet Wishin' we'd never met Mopin' and hopin' and swearin' I'd square a pound yet Folks declare my eyes are always wet Because a thief in the night Stole my heart and vanished from sight I knew I'd come to grievin' Believin' in a thief in the night Come in.
