I ran amok in Italy
I ran amok in Spain
They let me out of prison
And I ran amok again
I’m the continental outlaw
Rococo Jesse James
I’m a sophisticated bandit
I ride a sophisticated range

I been rich as Croesus
Been as poor as dirt
But I never skimped on caviar
Or embroidered silk shot shirts
And if you see me coming
Beware of what’s beneath
I might look like Tyrone Power
But I’m bad like Lee Van Cleef

I shake the bush and run
I’m such a cool hand son
I live the code bang bang
My tippy toes wont hang

I’m the continental outlaw
Rococo Jesse James
Call me that this evening
Tomorrow I might have another name

I kidnapped once a Countess
The good Lady Antoinette
Ransom got paid swiftly
But it wasn’t over yet
She cried Jesse oh dear Jesse
I’d rather stay with you
Well with my eye for beauty
What could a poor boy do


So now we terrorise the Pyrenees
Cut a swathe through the Frenchy Alps
Annie in her ruby crown,
Me in my gold gun belt
We’re continental outlaws
Rococo and Mrs James
We’re sophisticated bandits
We ride a sophisticated range
