The Ripper lyrics
by Judas Priest



you're in for a surprise

you're in for a shock

AAAHHH

in londontown 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 see me at all

all hear my warning

never turn your back on the ripper



you'll soon shake with fear

and 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



in the back alley street

is where we'll probably meet

underneath the gas lamp

where the air is cold and damp

i'm a surprise

i'm a devil in disguise

i'm a footstep at night

i'm a screamload of fright

all hear my warning

never turn your back

on the ripper

the ripper

the ripper

AAAHHHH
