You're in for surprise    You're in for a shock    In London town streets    When there's darkness and fog    When you least expect me    And you turn your back    I'll attack       I smile when I'm sneaking    Through shadows by the wall    I laugh when I'm creeping    But you won't hear me at all       All hear my warning    Never turn your back    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    Except for 'The Ripper'    Or if you like 'Jack The Knife'       Any back alley street    Is where we'll probably meet    Underneath a gas lamp    Where the air's cold and damp    I'm a nasty surprise    I'm a devil in disguise    I'm a footstep at night    I'm a scream of the fright       All hear my warning    Never turn your back    On the ripper...the ripper....the ripper
