Ev-er'-bo-dy though tthey lived a qui-et lit-tle life

But be-low the sur-face of Cliff, New Mex-i-co
G C
They were mil-lion-aire art thieves, which just goes to show
--Ya ne-ver know, do ya?
C G
So here is the sto-ry of their big art theft
C
When they cut it from the frame, there was-n'tnoth-in' left
F D
Worth a hun-dred mil-lion ,a real nice haul
G C
But when they took it home, they jus' hung it on the wall
--Right be-hind a door where no-bo-dy could see it but their own -selves
C G
And then they ne-ver tried to sell it Did-n't care a-bout the dough
C
Seems they just likedthe way it looked and so.
F D
They kep' it fer their-selves in their own bed-room
G C
It was their own lit-tle per-son-al, pri-vate de-Koon
--ing, that is. Twen-ti-eth cen-tu-ry Dutch ex-pres-sion-ist
C G
For thir-ty two years till the day they died
C
No one else was ev-er al-lowed in-side
F D
Then a dea-ler made an es-tate sale stop
G C
Took a lik-in' to the paint-in' and bought it for his shop
--Did-n't know what he had un-til
C G
At the deal-er's shop, it was re-cog-nized
C
And when he checked it out ,the deal-er was sur-prised
F D
A sto-len paint-in' worth a hun-dred mill' or more
G C
It scared him half to death jus' to keep it in his store.
--He hid it in the on-ly room that had its own lock. The john.
C G
When he called up the mu-se-um, they could-n't be-lieve
C
And when they got it back, they were so re-lieved
F D
They were glad to see it, safe from harm,
G C
And they fi-nal-ly put in . . . a bur-glar a-larm
--'Bout time, too.

It's not worth a fuss and hol-ler Just a few cents on the dol-lar
D G
And if you don't no-tice that makes it O. K.
--Eight nine ten What's the prob-lem with this plan?

It is a tax up-on a-no-ther tax We're pi-ling tax-es up in stack-ses.

If we don't end this Where will it stop?
