Duke Special - The Prop Man текст песни

Into Wishbone Falls a travelling troupe has arrived
There'll be theatre here tonight and it will soon come alive
But what's this, an empty trunk, the props are gone
Director's passed out cold, now where is that Hector Mann?
What to do? What to do? We need diamonds and a gun
Need a whole play of props before we raise that curtain tonight
Tonight

Hey, stop that prop man, he'll clean out this whole town
Thieving is believing that the show must go on
Hey, stop that prop man, have you seen my wig?
Could he possibly steal every prop for the gig?

I heard he stole a gun right out of the sheriff's holster
Stole furniture right out of its own upholstery
He stole the necklace of a neck whilst doing a little jig
And all the while upon his back a stolen roasted pig

Hey, stop that prop man, he'll clean out this whole town
Thieving is believing that the show must go on
Hey, stop that prop man, have you seen my wig?
Could he possibly steal every prop for the gig?

But oh, the town belle and her lavender smell
She flickers and blinks and he smiles and he winks
And just when you think he's lost the game to distraction
He steals her very heart - Mann, he's back in action

Hey, stop that prop man, he'll clean out this whole town
Thieving is believing that the show must go on
Hey, stop that prop man, have you seen my wig?
Could he possibly steal every prop for the gig?

Hey, stop that prop man, he'll clean out this whole town
Thieving is believing that the show must go on
Hey, stop that prop man, have you seen my wig?
Could he possibly steal every prop for the gig?

Even though he robbed us blind we couldn't help but feel sad
Cos we all know a good story is worth more than gold
He knows that we know that he did it for art
And when they cuffed him he smiled
