Lyrics

When you're out there lying in the sun He's the one who keeps his clothing on You'd never know him on a train or a bus 'Cause he looks just like the rest of us In the middle of the night it's a different story Don't let him catch you all alone The real ripper Axed up your pay packet The real ripper Wearing a dinner jacket Ask anyone you meet and they'll say the same No one is quite sure of his name Keep your hand on your heart but he's gonna get you He's gonna make you toe the line He's the true Brit and master of disguise And he invented high rise On the council they're respectable and be (?) I bounce around a couple of times a week (?) Ask anyone you meet and they'll say the same No one is quite sure of his name The real ripper He went to school today The real ripper Took all the books away Keep your hand on your heart but he's gonna get you He's gonna make you toe the line
