lyrics

My situation had been dire
Since the day that I got fired
I've been sleeping in my '88 sedan
So I called on two good buddies
Who were feeling just as nutty
And told them all the details of my plan
"The paintings hung in the museum
We'll pretend we came to see 'em
We'll stuff them in a sack and then we'll move
And then we'll put out feelers
To some crooked, wealthy dealers
We'll be stealing paintings from the Louvre

"Now I don't want to harass
Those security guards in Paris
By putting tranquilizers in their croissants
I'm not doing it for pleasure
I'm not doing it for leisure
I'm doing it so I can finally have a chance
We'll take the things we've stolen
Hop a boat and keep on rollin'
To somewhere in Canada like Toronto or the 'Couv
Maybe we'll make some money
Off some Manets or some Monets
We'll be stealing paintings from the Louvre"

We'll I knew that Mona Lisa
Would wanna get a piece of
All the action so I let her come along
To share the lovely oeuvre
Of the city of Vancouver
Where the friendly folk think I've done nothing wrong
Before my life was bumpy
And my clothes were looking frumpy
But I think I've gotten back into the groove
I've learned the payoff of my hard work
After looting precious artwork
Because I stole some paintings from the Louvre
Because I stole some paintings from the Louvre
