Robbing Peter To Play Ball
Peter owned a sporting goods store right here on South Street one Sunday we pried open the door took a sack full of baseballs and some running cleats
a few Louisvlle Sluggers had come with us too and it wasn't for protection we headed out to an upper class town played in all the restricted sections
We were robbing Peter to play ball and we always felt eight feet tall aint no way we could pay for it all so it didn't feel so bad when we were robbing Peter to play ball
Well we musta pulled that same ole drill least a half a dozen times We thought Peter must be rollin in bills acted as though he was unaware of the crimes
Didnt hear about a thing on the news nothin written in the papers Jimmy and Joey and Russell and I pulled off a string of whopping capers
Yeah, we were robbing Peter to play ball and we always felt eight feet tall aint no way we could pay for it all didn't feel so bad when we were robbing Peter to play ball
Later that summer hooked up with a county pick-up game drew a crowd of spectators and then Peter came The guilt hoovered over me like a screw ball in high-flight Peter yelled "hit one to Brooklyn, you got my bat, it's only right"
We were robbing Peter to play ball and we always felt eight feet tall aint no way we could pay for it all so it didn't feel so bad when we were robbing Peter to play ball

Its very clever the way you pull a hook that is based on a well known saying (another would be Rosie lyric). Bill
