[Twiddle - The Fantastic Tale Of Ricky Snickle lyrics]
He moved around real slow
Injured from his time at the rodeo
And at 17, he was running for the gangsters
Up on Depot Street yeah he cursed a lot
With a temper that could boil up every drop
He liked to keep it clean
With an attitude reflecting the
Life he’d seen
The fantastic tale of Ricky Snickle is
Sure to brighten up your day
The mystery behind the legend’s life
A gangster turned an honest living was
Never fully out the game
At last believes that now he
Can retireAnd at 21
He was working for the mob as a hired gun
He was the best they’d seen
A picture perfect model of efficiency
He flew to the top
Knocking out the competition at every stop
Until the fateful day when he decided it
Was time for him to walk away
The fantastic tale of Ricky Snickle is
Sure to brighten up your day
The mystery behind the legend’s life
A gangster turned an honest living was
Never fully out the game
At last believes that now he can retire
Moving slowly, drifting on, he found his way
One great adventure
A fantastic story of how he made his name
A life of mystery soaked in history
Learning from his own mistakes
He learned to fly a plane
Started making money smuggling everything
Uzis and cocaine are a bad
Combination when you’re half insane
And so he met his fate
He got busted by the Feds in ’88
He served seven years
Which allowed him to focus on
His lack of fear
The fantastic tale of Ricky Snickle is
Sure to brighten up your day
The mystery behind the legend’s life
A gangster turned an honest living was
Never fully out the game
At last believes that now he can retire
He moved around a lot
Never staying very long in any spot
As his hair turned grey
He longed for a home to call his own some day
And then he saw her smile
And everything seemed brighter for
A little while he thanked the stars above
’cause ‘ol Ricky Snickle finally
Found true love
The fantastic tale of Ricky Snickle is
Sure to brighten up your day
The mystery behind the legend’s life
A gangster turned an honest living was
Never fully out the game
At last believes that now he can retire
Injured from his time at the rodeo
And at 17, he was running for the gangsters
Up on Depot Street yeah he cursed a lot
With a temper that could boil up every drop

With an attitude reflecting the

The mystery behind the legend’s life
