verse #1:
It was in the late 1800's
where the story begins,
Eleven brutal murders
in London, Eng-land.
Walking the streets at night
was taking your life in your hands
Jack the Ripper's name
only seemed to expand
(throughout the land)
Chorus:
Attacks were on the East side
where he could find a place to hide.
a knife is the weapon he chose
as he would rip into her clothes.
He was regarded as the first
Serial killer,
He was never caught and brought
to justice
and his legend goes on as a
Lady- Killer
he never paid for his injustice (no, no)
verse #2:
It was in Whitechapel, where we first heard his fame
Still today, no one knows his real name
The police were inept, and could not catch this slayer
"Dear Boss", prostitutes are the real players
"Ripperology" was a phrase coined for his identity
"Saucy Jack" was a letter he sent to me.
It wasn't till 1888 when the Ripper was born
when the first woman was ripped and torn
Chorus:
Attacks were on the East side
where he could find a place to hide.
a knife is the weapon he chose
as he would rip into her clothes.
He was regarded as the first
Serial killer,
He was never caught and brought
to justice
and his legend goes on as a
Lady- Killer
he never paid for his injustice (no, no)
solo:
instrumental music:
bridge:
A predator of unsuspecting measures
He was a man of Heinous pleasures
"Jack the Ripper" was his name,
killing women was his claim to fame
Somehow he knew all the countermeasures
(he got away from you)
Chorus:
Attacks were on the East side
where he could find a place to hide.
a knife is the weapon he chose
as he would rip into her clothes.
He was regarded as the first
Serial killer,
He was never caught and brought
to justice
and his legend goes on as a
Lady- Killer
he never paid for his injustice (no, no)
outro:
Jack the Ripper
Jack the Ripper
(they called him)
