[Intro]
Now that's the prettiest sound
You'll ever hear
It's just like heavenly music to my ear
Man, I get such a boot
When I hear rooty-toot-toot
[Bridge]
I always feel high
When a rod is nearby
Cause I...
[Verse 1]
Love the fun of reaching for a gun
And going 'Bang! Bang!'
I come alive each time a forty-five
Begins to 'Bang! Bang!'
In gangster movies, I love that scene
The nice guys nice
And the mean guys mean
The boss's moll
Always steps between
Quick draws
Applause
[Verse 2]
My kind of prank is walking in a bank
And going 'Bang! Bang!'
The ricochet, a bullet play a melody
Like Pistol Joe, and Machine Gun Moe
Is the way I'm aiming to be
Cause no one I know gets oh, such a glow
Out of 'Bang! Bang!'
Like me
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Like Shotgun Sid, and The Roscoe Kid
I'll be out to make history
Cause I'm not afraid to stage me a raid
On some hang-out
And my gun will hum
While I'm blasting some rival gang out
Cause no one I know gets oh, such a glow
Out of 'Bang! Bang!'
Like me
