Bugsy Malone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's a sinner, candy-coated
For all his friends
He always seems to be alone
But they love him
Bugsy Malone

[Verse 2]
A city slicker, he can charm you
With a smile and a style all his own
Everybody loves that man
Bugsy Malone

[Bridge]
Hot-headed Bugsy makes his mind up
Don't mess with Bugsy or you'll wind up
Wishing you'd left well enough alone
He's a man, a mountain, he's a rolling stone

[Verse 3]
And will he leave you
Sad and lonely, crying?
I couldn't say, but its known
That everybody wants that man
Bugsy Malone

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
