Am
You're in for surprise,

you're in for a shock

in Londontown streets

when there is darkness and fog.
C G
When you least expect me
F E A
and you turn your back I'll attack

I smile when I'm sneaking

thru shadows by the wall

I laugh whilst I'm creeping

though you won't hear me at all.
C G
Oh hear my warning
F E
never turn your back
A
on the ripper

You'll soon shake with fear

never knowing if I'm near

I'm sly and I'm shameless

nocturnal and nameless
C G
except for the ripper

or if you like

Jack the knife

A
On a back alley street

is where we'll prob'ly meet

underneath a gas lamp

where the air is cold and damp

I'm a nasty surprise
F
I'm a devil in disguise
E
I'm a footstep at night
A
I'm a scream out with fright
C G
Oh, hear my warning,
F E
never turn your back
A
on the ripper
