Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] All hear my warning Never turn your back On the Ripper [Verse 3] 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" [Guitar Solo: Glenn Tipton] Oh, ah [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] 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 at the sight [Refrain] All hear my warning Never turn your back On the Ripper [Outro] The Ripper The Ripper Ahh!
