+====== The Thieves' Song ======
+by Gavin Davenport
+Some they say the travelling man, he is the city's blight
+That he will rob the city man in some blind lane by night
+But I tell you that the chap in rags or lord in golden chains
+It matters not how much they have, they'll rob you just the same
+**Chorus:**
+//Hark! Hark! The dogs do bark and all the rogues have come to town
+Some in rags, some in jags and some in velvet gowns
+So put no faith in rich men, though gold they have in store
+For now they have the taste of it, they want it ten times more//
+And yet you scorn the beggar man that calls out for each crust
+And on the pinstriped wolf's head you invest your faith and trust
+And put the biggest rogues of all, your Parliament within
+So don't despise the poor man though his clothes be awful thin
+[//chorus//]
+So don't see the beggar as a thief, but see him as a man
+Likewise the lords, but look beneath and trust just where you can
+For you meet with thieves and you eat with thieves and you deal with thieves each day
+And you dote on thieves and you vote for thieves and still their games do play
