My Name Lyrics

My Name lyrics

SIKES



Strong men tremble when they hear it!

They've got cause enough to fear it!



It's much blacker than they smear it!

Nobody mentions...

My name! 



Rich men hold their five-pound notes out --

Saves me emptying their coats out.

They know I could tear their throats out

Just to live up to...

My name! 



Wiv me

Jemmy in me hand,

Lemme see the man who dares

Stop me.

Taking what I may

He can start to say his prayers! 



Biceps like an iron girder,

Fit for doing of a murder,

If I just so much as heard a 

Bloke even whisper...

(spoken) My name! Bill Sikes... 



(sung) Some Toff, slumming wiv his valet,

Bumped into me in the alley

Now is eyes'll never tally

He'd never heard of ...

My name! 



One bloke

Used to boast the claim

He could take my name in vain...

Poor bloke...

Shame 'e was so green

Never was 'e seen again! 



Once bad -- What's the good of turning?

In hell, I'll be there-a-burning

Meanwhile, thing of what I'm earning

All on account of...

My name! 



What is it? What is it? What is it? 



NANCY 



(spoken) Bill Sikes.
