Well I Was Talking Last Night 
Magneto And Titanium Man . . . 
We Were Talking About You, Babe, 
Oo --- They Said --- 

You Were Involved In A Robbery 
That Was Due To Happen 
At A Quarter To Three 
In The Main Street. 

I Didn't Believe Them 
Magneto And Titanium Man . . . 
But When The Crimson Dynamo 
Finally Assured Me, Well, I Knew 

You Were Involved In A Robbery 
That Was Due To Happen 
At A Quarter To Three 
In The Main Street. 

So We Went Out 
Magneto And Titanium Man . . . 
And The Crimson Dynamo 
Came Along For The Ride 

We Went To Town With The Library 
And We Swung All Over That 
Long Tall Bank In The Main Street 

Well There She Were And To My Despair 
She's A Five-Star Criminal 
Breaking The Code 

Magneto Said "Now The Time Come 
To Gather Our Forces And Run!!!" 
Oh No . . . . . . 
This Can't Be So . . . . . . 

And Then It Occurred To Me! 

You Couldn't Be Bad 
Magneto Was Mad! 
Titanium Too! 
And The Crimson Dynamo 
Just Couldn't Cut It No More 
You Were The Law . . . . . .
