[THIEVES:]<br>
Congratulations, bub, you've joined the club <br>
And everybody here agrees<br>
We got the finest blend of nearly-honest men,<br>
Welcome to the forty thieves!!<br>
<br>
A fraternity of thugs that you can trust<br>
There's nothing up our eighty sleeves<br>
Got lotsa grub to share<br>
Pull up an easy chair!<br>
Welcome to the forty thieves!!<br>
<br>
Now you get to lie and cheat,<br>
Never hafta brush your teeth<br>
But we always aim to please<br>
Care for one another<br>
You'll never miss your mother<br>
<br>

Out on a limb,<br>
Takin' whatever we please<br>
