My Name! Lyrics

 

 

My Name! - London Theatre Orchestra & Cast

Strong men tremble when they hear it

They've got 'cause enough to fear it

It's much blacker than they smear it

Nobody mentions

My name

Rich men hold their five pound notes out

Saves me emptying their coats out

They know I could tear their throats out

Just to live up to

My name

Wive me

Jemmy in me hand

Lemme see the man who dares

 

Stop me

 

Taking what I may

He can start to say his prayers

 

Biceps like an iron girder

Fit for doing of a murder

If I just so much as heard

A bloke even whisper

 

My name

 

Bill Sikes

 

Some toff slumming wiv his valet

Bumped into me in the alley

 

Now is eyes'll never tally

He'd never heard of

My name

One bloke

Used to boast the claim

He could take my name in vain

 

Poor bloke

Shame me was so green

Never was she seen again

 

Once bad what's the good of turning

In hell I'll be there a burning

Meanwhile thing of what I'm earning

All on account of

My name

 

What is it

 

What is it

 

What is it

 

 

Bill Sikes
