Lyrics

Oh!
Listen, heh
You got to see it and don't see
You got to hear and don't hear
You got to know and don't know, huh
And don't tell everybody where you go, huh
'Cause it's a miracle so far we haven't got caught
And I intend to keep it that way, huh
Because it's better to say "There he go"
Than to say "There he lay", ha-ha!
You know that, baby
Ooh
You got to take the fifth ammendment
Take this book home and learn the fifth ammendment
You got to take the fifth ammendment
And refuse to answer on the grounds
It might tend to incriminate you and me
Listen, baby
Let me say something else right here
We've got to take this thing step by step
We've got to go according to the law, ha
So if anybody ask you where you're goin'
Just say you got to see a man about a dog, baby
We've got to take this thing step by step, baby
We've got to go according to the law
So if anybody ask you where you're goin'
Just say you got to see a man about a dog, baby
Listen, baby
If we ever get caught, heh
And we have to go to court
You're standin' there before the judge, huh
Listen to me tell you what to do, heh
Just tell him, huh
"I take the fifth ammendment"
Don't say another word, huh
Let me handle the prosecutin' attorney, baby
'Cause he's smart, huh
He'll try to pick ya, he'll try to trick ya, huh
Try to get you to say where you been, baby
But you got to take the fifth ammendment, baby, huh
We can't afford to get caught now, baby, huh
We got a good thing
