Once Upon A Crime Lyrics by Craig Hawes

2015

[CHIEF, spoken]:
STOP! THIEF! POLICE!
COME BACK HERE!
He’s getting away!
After him, boys!
[RUSTY, spoken]:
Folks began reports of more crime on the streets
We’re going straight to our roving reporter, Dwayne Pipe
What’s the story out there, Dwayne?
[DWAYNE PIPE, spoken]:
It’s all kickin’ off out here, Rusty
Crowds are gatherin’ as police are in hot pursuit
Of yet another criminal
One thing’s for sure, Rusty
This forest is no longer safe
[ALL]:
Take a chance as you roll the loaded dice
In a forest of villainy and vice
Watch them break out of jail
Put a twist in the tale of every rhyme
The story of our time:
Once upon a crime
Once upon a crime
It’s a tale of scandal and grime everytime
Oh, once upon a crime
Take a step in the world of darkest dread
You’ll be treading where angels fear to tread
Someone comes to some harm
Then you hear the alarm begin to chime
The story of our time:
Once upon a crime
Once upon a crime
It’s a tale of scandal and grime everytime
Oh, once upon a crime
[CHIEF, spoken]:
This is the police!
Keep back and stay calm, folks
There is nothing to worry about
Nobody panic
We have everything under control!
[RUSTY, spoken]:
Dwayne, can you give us an update?
What’s the latest out there?
[DWAYNE PIPE, spoken]:
I’m with the chief right now, Rusty
What’s going on, chief?
[CHIEF, spoken.]:
No comment
[DWAYNE PIPE, spoken]:
Is it another unexplained crime, chief?
[CHIEF, spoken]:
No comment!
[DWAYNE PIPE, spoken]:
Have you lost control of the forest, chief?
[CHIEF, spoken]:
NO! COMMENT!
[ALL]:
Take a chance as you roll the loaded dice
In a forest of villainy and vice
Watch them break out of jail
Put a twist in the tale of every rhyme
The story of our time:
Once upon a crime
Once upon a crime
It’s a tale of scandal and grime everytime
Oh, once upon a crime
The story of our time..
Once upon a crime
