Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

Three-legged jake

Three-legged Jake…

three-legged Jake

Three-legged Jake it’s a mistake,

you can tell he’s a fake

You know what they say about three-legged Jake

in a back alley your legs he’ll break

Mean motherfucker who’s full of hate,

nasty mean and a fake

Your throat he will cut

and he’ll beat you up

three-legged Jake is a mean motherfuck

And after the job the three-legged yob

will go home and pray to a three-legged God

Three-legged Jake he’s got a dog

and one of his legs he’s cut off

Now three-legged Jake’s got

a three-legged dog and in the streets

they look pretty odd

The three-legged dog will bite your leg off

and spit it out when he coughs

The three-legged dog is a circus freak

and in the freakshow he barks when you speak

He sits on the lap of three-legged Jake

when in the freakshow money he makes

Three-legged Jake…

three-legged Jake…

legs he will break…
