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"
