There's No Lights On The Christmas Tree Mother, They're Burning Big Louie Tonight - The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

The mobs in town

And the guns are out

And Louie knows what it’s all about

He’s gunning down the cops with machine-gun tops

Moving in a black sedan

A stickup worth a hundred grand

Headline sensation:

«A Payroll Grab in the Union Station»

Now there’s no lights on the Christmas tree mother

They’re burning Big Louie tonight

There’s no electricity mother

They’re burning Big Louie tonight

Across the state the bandits fly

Victims scream, gangsters die

And sirens in the night and armoured cars and dynamite

Now Peter is on the mob

And the FBI is on the job

And now the headlines say:

«Louie Bannassas On Trial Today»

Now there’s no lights on the Christmas tree mother

They’re burning Big Louie tonight

There’s no electricity mother

They’re burning Big Louie tonight

But they got him in the final chase

Louie was running in a loser’s race

And on the day his case begun

He was Public Enemy Number One

And the jury’s back, they all agree

It’s murder in the first degree

Tie him down and shave his hair

Cause tonight Big Louie’s gonna get the chair

Now there’s no lights on the Christmas tree mother

They’re burning Big Louie tonight

There’s no electricity mother

They’re burning Big Louie tonight

The baby’s crying

They’re burning Big Louie tonight

They’re gonna fry him

They’re burning Big Louie tonight
