[Intro]
You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock, oh
In Armageddon Town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your back
I'll attack, attack, attack...
[Verse 1]
I smile when I'm sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when I'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all
[Chorus]
All hear my warning:
Never turn your back
On the Ripper
[Bridge]
You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless
Nocturnal and nameless
Except for "The Ripper"
Or, if you like, "Jack the Knife"
[Solo]
[Verse 2]
When we're back on the streets
It's where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a naughty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream in the night
[Chorus]
All hear my warning:
Never turn your back
On the Ripper
[Outro]
The Ripper, the Ripper...
