(Hey-oh! Hey-oh!)

Once I was a thief, now I'm getting robbed
Yesterday a rebel, today I'm just a snob
Last night I was king of gypsies, this morning I'm a slob
Once I was a thief, now I'm getting robbed

[Chorus]
But hey, did you get lucky on the inside?
Hey, hey! Did you get lucky on the inside?

(Hey-oh! Hey-oh!)

Once a cool heretic 'til I turned off the docks
Came to cure the lepers, and caught the chicken pox
I went to sea a buccaneer and I washed ashore a swab
Once I was a thief, now I'm getting robbed

[Chorus]
But hey, did you get lucky on the inside?
Hey, hey! Did I get lucky on the inside too?
Instead of waiting in the long, long queue after a ride so brief
Once I was a thief
Once I was a thief

(Hey-oh! Hey-oh!)
I used to break so many hearts, now I'm just watching stocks
Swore I'd die with boots on, now I'll settle for my socks
Took the road less travelled by and got trampled by the mob
Once I was a thief, now I'm getting robbed
Once I was a thief, now I'm getting robbed

[Chorus]
But hey, did you get lucky on the inside?
Hey, hey! Did we get lucky on the inside?
Hey! Could I get lucky on the inside too?
Now I'm waiting in the long, long queue after a ride so brief
Once I was a thief (Hey-oh! Hey-oh!)
Once I was a thief (Hey-oh! Hey-oh!)
Once I was a thief (Hey-oh! Hey-oh!)
Once I was a thief (Hey-oh! Hey-oh!)
