Before he burst on the scene to be the man that we all know
Jack Rubenstein was just a small time mafioso
Who ran a dirty strip club in 1963
Where everybody knew that Dallas cops always drink for free
"Now come on boys, you know me -- I'm Jack Ruby"
The cops said to Ruby, "There is something we all know
That the man who knocks off Oswald is gonna be a hero"
And Ruby sat there silently contemplating the scene
And got high on dreams of glory and amphetamine
"Now come on boys, you know me -- I'm Jack Ruby"
So now the dancers have grown old and the nightclub is gone
And there's little of Jack Ruby that remains to linger on
Except a highway through Dallas by the name of LBJ
No one knows what that stands for, but it's there anyway
"Now come on boys, you know me -- I'm Jack Ruby"
