- The Ripper Lyrics / with translationsYou're in for surprise
You're in for a shock
In london town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your bacl
I'll attack
I smile when sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when i'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all
All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper
You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if i'm near
I'm sly and i'm shameless
Nocturnal and nameless
Except for the ripper
Or if you like jack the knife
Any back alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp
I'm a nasty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream of the fright
All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper...the ripper...the ripper
You're in for a shock
In london town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your bacl
I'll attack
I smile when sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when i'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all
All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper
You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if i'm near
I'm sly and i'm shameless
Except for the ripper
Or if you like jack the knife
Any back alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp
I'm a nasty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream of the fright
All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper...the ripper...the ripper
