lyrics

There’s too many crooks in the kitchen
Stepping on good people’s toes
There’s too many crooks in the kitchen,
Ohh, the crooks that come and go
Ohh, the crooks that come and go

Crooks come and go, into your home
Pretend they’re your friends, end as your foes
Crooks come and go, stab you in the back and then they head for the road.

Handyman Dan, he’s got a plan, but he needs your help, you lend him your hand, again and again, stab you in the back and now he’s back in the pen

Don’t trust strangers with candy,
Trying to get you over to the van
Don’t trust a man just ‘cause he’s handy
He ain’t a family man
He ain’t a family man
Ohh, the crooks that come and go
Ohh, the crooks that come and go
(Instrumental)

He paints you a dream of grass that’s so green,
of white picket fences and windows so clean
But it’s just a dream, stabs you in the back
And then he sells you downstream

There’s too many crooks in the kitchen
Stepping on good people’s toes
There’s too many crooks in the kitchen,
Ohh, the crooks that come and go
Ohh, the crooks that come and go
Ohh, the crooks that come and go
Ohh, the crooks that come and go
