Fun Lovin' Criminals

Swashbucklin' In Brooklyn

My man was workin at the seafood spot

Sellin fish n chips and dealin bags of pot

Dressed in a pirates uniform and all

Lookin like a fool headin for a fall

He was walkin home late one night godbless

Heard the scream of a woman in immediate distress

??????

he headed down the alley hoping for the best

he saw the girl who was screamin her mouth beat shut

two guys standin by her bout to get fucked up

he said you don't hit the bitches while I'm still alive

stabbed on in the neck the other in the eye

the girl ran home told her daddy she was saved

by a pirate with a shiv and a real smooth way

the vision of the pirate would surely never fade

so she called the New York post and tried to get paid

chorus

super hero your my super hero

Now the story ran the following day page two

But swashbucklin in Brooklyn is all he want to do

I tried to sit him down and think things through

But swashbucklin in Brooklyn is all he want to do

Now he was havin problems like diving without drowning

The city the cops the mob trying to stop him

He needed a psychic thats where I came in

Tell his story to the world help him with his shit

We cruise down the river patrolling the docks

Deliverin justice to eight square blocks

Brooklyn was safe nobody got shot

We used swords and daggers and kung fu what nots

This kinda shits ??? had no choice

Doin it for free like the village voice

This ends my first installment of the story

He was good kicking ass but bad with the glory

Chorus x 2

super hero your my super hero

We cruise down the river patrolling the docks

Deliverin justice to eight square blocks

Brooklyn was safe nobody got shot

We used swords and daggers and kung fu what nots

This kinda shits ??? had no choice

Doin it for free like the village voice

This ends my first installment of the story

He was good kicking ass but bad with the glory

Chorus x 4

super hero your my super hero
