Beware, beware of the tale of Jack the Ripper
sober yourself
Way before you travel the night
Beware, beware of the tale of Jack the Ripper
If you're alone..
Then maybe I should walk you home...

You better stop your fooling around
Scantily dressed all over the town
Your eves are shot from feeling fine
you've had too much, too much red wine

Ripper Jack once worked on the streets
Down alleyways where girls he did meet
he sized them up as they came out
and swiped the girls that staggered about..

People say it ain't worth the risk
to venture out into the darkness
a tidy drink is plain to see
you dance a dance
flirtatiously

and would it be at best to suggest
protection of your interests
would place a guide right by your side
in one that's fully qualified
