"Beginners 101" lyrics

"Beginners 101"

And so it came
Not like any other game
Don't stand too close to the flame
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
We took the money and gone
A flight to Cologne or maybe Bon
A suit made from mo' hair
A little flair
Some brill creamed hair, yeah
Up over the roof
A rope, a jimmy, something waterproof
Where eagles dare
A self proclaimed millionaire

Under a silvery moon
We couldn't finish the job too soon
A nod, a wink and uncomfortable glance
The man from the special branch
"'Ello son"

I should have known
Something wasn't right
It's beginners 101
Into the night
Before the daylight
We was having fun (Having fun)
A little hit and run
One for all and all for one
And finish what we begun

Was it all a charade
A mistake to have stayed
Ain't them bars of gold
A sight to behold
A panama so bold

I should have known
Something wasn't right
It's beginners 101
Into the night
Before the daylight
We should have guessed
Did it pass the idiot test?
It's beginners 101
Just a burner phone
This bird has flown
