What’s a little thief got to do Just to steal a little time with you I’d plan an elaborate and daring heist Cause I think you’re really nice, that’s right I could do it tonight I’d empty out the national treasury If I thought that it would make you see You’re the only real treasure to me I’d happily lift some priceless art Just to decorate my apartment for You to come over more And I’d abscond with the great Hope Diamond Cause I'm hoping you’ll see that I'm in love La-la-la-love Would you like golden bars or coins? I could do some sweet purloining for you baby, yeah I’d blow up a bank vault with C-4 If you would just take pity on my poor, poor, poor, poor heart We could travel round the world just a-robbing it blind And what I seek I hope I’ll find in you Loving me too I could dig a tunnel beneath the ground So we could have a night out under the town, oh no Come on, baby, let’s go And I’ll pick a pocket where there’ll be a ring How did that guy know it’s the very thing I need Well he’s done a good deed Baby I would plunder, embezzle or housebreak for you I could burgle anything we needed, darling I know that I'm wanted by the law But really that’d be the only flaw in a perfect world Of you And me And a little larceny La-la-la-larceny My la-la-la-love
