The Getaway

Mario Rumbouldie mumbling away ...

"Ho ho ho

It feels like Christmas

Dollars a plenty

Feel notes crispness"

But Mario snatched it away from the lad

Gave him a mean horrid chiding

Mario happy was always good news

Caus Jack wouldn't get a big hiding

(Sings)

"Chink chink chink

Coins in the chest

Money lovely money

I love money best"

"But what happens when..."

Jack started to say

Mario glared

"If you give us away

I'll take this knife

And skin you alive

Keep your mouth shut

Or you'll not survive

Quickly now boy

We'd better be off

People can be

... most ungrateful

Sometimes their spite

Almost breaks my heart

(If I had one - which I don't Ha Ha )

How can their words be so hateful"

Whispers very low

"Sometimes elixir may not work

Side effects can go .....

Er....

Berserk ..."

Little Ron had got bad tum

Elixir made it worse

Unger tried it on sore bum

Then couldn't drive his hearse

Pastor Stein put some in wine he gave to congregation

Hoped it'd help the poor keep well

It gave them constipation

Word got round to all in town

Ol' 3gun heard complaints

Mario had gone to ground

With money conned from residents

Sneaky creaky wagon ho

Coward in the night

Out of town went Rumbouldie

The fiend had taken flight

But 3gun guessed the route

And horsed went in pursuit

Just on the edge of town

Is where he stopped the clown

"The towns folk you betrayed

But now you are waylaid

Get down you callous brute

Click -

I'm happy just to shoot"

Off back of the wagon

Jumped Jack full of fear

Scared he'd be hanged

While everyone jeered

Jack running and ducking and tripping on stones

3gun took good aim with his rifle

Had him sight it would take just one clean shot,

to have him laid cold on the table

3gun let him run

This urchin was too young

Mario Rumbouldie you're under arrest

For conning the folk of the Gulch

I'm locking you up for trial by your peers

You'll hang so you best say your prayers

Jack never had felt so alone

frightened

torn

forlorn

out of breath

gasping for a way out of this

where to go?

Sheriff wants him dead

Townsfolk think he's conned them

What is a friend?

Who cares a jot?

Jack had never found that out

Looking for a place to hide

Caus nobody was on his side!!
