SOUND OF SIRENS…(Sung to the tune of The Sound of Silence)

Hello, bank vault my old friend.

I’ve come to tumble you – again.

Because my wife spent all of my mon-ey.

And I need to get some more – you see.

But I’m old,

And my fingers ache much more

Than before.

Is that the sound – of sirens?

**************

In this darkened bank I roam.

I need to get out and go home.

Running down the hall towards the back door.

I need to get out just a moment more.

When my eyes were stabbed by the flashing of blue cop lights.

No, this ain’t right.

Yes, that’s the sound – of sirens.

****************

And in the darkened hall I saw.

Dancing shadows on the wall.

Then a bullhorn said that I should freeze.

Quickly, I fell down upon my knees.

And I crawled – hoping I could make my way…

Another day.

Away from sounds – of sirens.

***************

Chastising me I crawled along.

Straight into the men’s bathroom.

Where I made it back into the hole.

I dug out many, many days before.

And I fell all the way into my tunnel underground.

That’s where I found.

No more sounds – of sirens.

******************

Now, I’m gonna get away.

With the plunder from my raid.

While the cops are ah-all looking.

For me, but I am back home cooking.

*******************

And the captain of police is pacing,

And really mad…

And, oh so sad.

Amid the sound of sirens.
