[Verse 1]
Well I was talking last night
Magneto and Titanium Man
We were talking about you, baby
Oo --- they said

[Chorus]
You was involved in a robbery
That was due to happen
At a quarter to three
In the main street

[Verse 2]
I didn't believe them
Magneto and Titanium Man
But when the Crimson Dynamo
Finally assured me, well, I knew

[Chorus]
You was involved in a robbery
That was due to happen
At a quarter to three
In the main street

[Verse 3]
So we went out
Magneto and Titanium Man
And the Crimson Dynamo
Came along for the ride
We went to town with the library
And we swung all over that
Long tall bank in the main street
Well there she were and to my despair
She's a five-star criminal
Breaking the code

[Bridge]
Magneto said, "Now the time come
To gather our forces and run!"
Oh no
This can't be so
And then it occurred to me!

[Outro]
You couldn't be bad
Magneto was mad!
Titanium too!
And the Crimson Dynamo
Just couldn't cut it no more
You were the law

Paul McCartney and Wings, also known simply as Wings, were an Anglo-American rock band formed in 1971 by former Beatle Paul McCartney with his wife Linda McCartney on keyboards, session drummer Denny Seiwell, and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine. Wings were noted for frequent personnel changes as well as commercial success, going through three lead guitarists and four drummers. However, the core trio of the McCartneys and Laine remained intact throughout the group’s existence until 1981.
