The world of con and flim-flam artists has always fascinated me. This song almost wrote itself....
Lila got distracted on the Blow Off The cardinal rule of being on the run Never get your honey Where you get your money Never mix romance with a gun Jimmy was a Roper on the west side Blackie had a handle on the Crew Tossing Broads and Crazy Larry Swinging Priests and Pregnant Mary The only life these Bunnies really knew Chorus: For a little Flash We can score big cash Just Light the Flame On the Badger Game If you never risk it Life's a Trip For Biscuits You never get rich Off the Jamaican Switch Our girl Lila was a looker Just not the brightest in the hall But her hustler's education Explained the situation And Lila wouldn't stay behind the eight ball Bridge: The Hook was a line from a Penny and Dime And some Babe Gam The flash was a little cash From the Butter And Egg Man The shade was a Classic Fade With a perfect Angle Then they heard the Chicago Lightning And they had to Dangle On the coast of Argentina In the town of San Major There's a statue of a lady Who could be somewhat shady And no one knows what the hell it's for
