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

'cos 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

... ... your pay packet (?)

The real ripper

Wearing a dinner jacket

Ask anyone you meet and they'll say the same

Noone 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 ... laden master of disguise

And he invented high rise

On the council they're respectable and ... (?)

A bounce around the clock and turn away (?)

Ask anyone you meet and they'll say the same

Noone 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
