lyrics

The Stopwatch Gang

From small town Ontario
Mitchell, Wright and Reid
Concocted a scheme
Rather extreme that
enriched them significantly

An airline employee
A shipment of gold
A roll of the dice
A well planned out heist
Wound up worth millions all told

In the nineteen seventies
The Stopwatch Gang relieved
Banks of their monies
Donning masks and wielding guns
The Ottawans lived on the run
‘Til it all came undone

They ran out of cash by
Spending indiscriminately
So they changed their game
To smuggling cocaine and
their luck changed definitively

A weak link accomplice
Fell victim to a trap
Confronted with years
He turned on his peers
And sealed their fate by wiretap

In the nineteen seventies
The Stopwatch Gang relieved
Banks of their monies
Donning masks and wielding guns
The Ottawans lived on the run
‘Til it all came undone
In the nineteen seventies
The Stopwatch Gang relieved
Banks of their monies
Donning masks and wielding guns
The Ottawans lived on the run
‘Til it all came undone

But these three were resourceful
Had tricks up their sleeves
They played the long con
And soon they were gone
Goodbye penitentiary
Goodbye penitentiary
Goodbye penitentiary

They say that crime doesn’t pay
The Stopwatch Gang don’t feel that way
