AN- Here we go, a song from skinner, as promised- I think I promised anyway...my memory isn't that good, I normally have the attention span of a rodent, but hey, what ya gonna do?
Most of the league were in the dining room waiting for the meeting to start. Quatermain stood at the front of the long table. 'Now this may not apply to all of you, but items have been stolen from Mrs Harker, others, and myself. Now, we all know who the thief is aboard this ship, but it's all a matter of finding him-' 'Allo all. Whats goin'on?' Skinner received a manner of glares from around the table. 'What 'ave I done now?' 'You stole my watch' 'You stole my brandy' 'I'd rather not mention what you took, but I want them back.' 'Look, look everyone I can explain me-self.' 'Go ahead, we're waiting.' Quatermain stood, arms folded, waiting for an answer.
'Er- well, you see……'
Skinner-:
Gotta keep
One jump ahead of the breadline
One swing ahead of the sword
I steal only what I can't afford
That's Everything!
One jump ahead of the lawmen
That's all, and that's no joke
These guys don't appreciate I'm broke
Nemo- Riffraff! Street rat! Scoundrel! Take that!
Skinner- Just a little snack, guys
Dorian- Rip him open, take it back, guys
Skinner-I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
You're my only friend, Sawyer!
Tom- What?
Mina- Oh it's sad that skinner's hit the bottom
He's become a one-man rise in crime
I'd blame parents except he hasn't got them-
Skinner- Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Tell you all about it when I got the time!
One jump ahead of the slowpokes
One skip ahead of my doom
Next time gonna use a nom de plume…
One jump ahead of the hit men
One hit ahead of the flock
I think I'll take a stroll around the block
Quatermain- stop, thief! Vandal! Outrage! Scandal!
Skinner- Let's not be too hasty
The Lady Thief- Still I think he's rather tasty
Skinner grins as the league look confused as hell
Skinner-- Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Otherwise we'd get along
Mina- Wrong!
Skinner-One jump ahead of the hoofbeats
Nemo- Vandal!
Skinner- One hop ahead of the hump
Dorian- Street rat!
Skinner-One trick ahead of disaster
Jekyll- Scoundrel!
Skinner- They're quick, but I'm much faster
Nemo-Take that!
Skinner- Here goes, better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landin'
All I gotta do is jump!
He jumped from the table and slipped from the room before he was sliced or shot. 'GET BACK HERE YOU DIRTY LITTLE THIEF!' Dorian shouted, realising his pocket had just been picked. 'Try and catch me nancy- boy!'
