Verse
Oh, Jawbone, why don't cha sit and moan?
Oh, Jawbone, you know that it's stone for stone
Sneak through the night upon your toes
To look in your eye, it never shows
Your name upon the post office wall
Put you on edge 'cause they wrote it too small

I'm up on a beef, I'm gonna rig it
I'm a thief and I dig it

Oh, Jawbone, revenge stays on your mind
Oh, Jawbone, you been doin' too much time
Pull off a job with an inside man
who needs the cash and likes your plan
Then you will know just who to thank
when you land right back in the tank
Chorus
I'm a thief and I dig it
I'm up on a beef, I'm gonna rig it
I'm a thief and I dig it

Oh, Jawbone, why dont'cha go home?
Oh, Jawbone, where is it you belong?
Boostin' and goin' out on the lam
Ya know that you'll steal anything that you can
Temptation stands just behind the door
So what you wanna go and open it for?
Chorus
I'm a thief and I dig it
I'm up on a beef, I'm gonna rig it
I'm a thief and I dig it
