I heard a rumor come from Cranston
Son, please do tell
So lock you shutters and your doors
Lock you window wells
The city sinner's back in Cranston
Says it all so right
He's come to settle up the score
He's gonna to say goodnight
Cranston city say goodnight
Need I remind the folks of Cranston
Learn you bible well
The city sinner sits up there
Sits up down in Hell
The sinner doesn't come from Knightsville
He comes from Olneyville
Come back to Cranston if you dare
Said it oh so well
They got a problem down in Cranston
Says he's time to blow
I hear with murderers and whores
Oh yes I know them whores
Need I remind the folks in Cranston
He said it oh so well
He's come to settle up the score
You'd better say your prayers
Cranston city say your prayers
I know he's not in Pawtucket
Now I know he's not down in Knightsville
Ya now I know he's not in Woonsocket
Aw hell you see the Cranston city sinner
He sits on top of Laurel Hill
There was a nation stood invited all to Cranston
It had a bug it just chewed upon your ear
This was a rumor bug with womanly intentions
It spoke so loud that no one truly hear
They've got a problem down in Cranston
Said tell them all
I hear with murderers and whores
Oh yes I know them whores
Need I remind the folks in Cranston
He said the Bible well
He's come to settle up the score
Cranston Ring your hotiff bells
