Lyrics
Verse One
Mr Green said he was clubbing at 10.
He said he was celebrating his birthday and didnât leave until 3am.
Mr Red, said he was sleeping in bed, because heâd had
a long day at work and he really needed a rest.
Miss Blue, said that she was online, studying for a
psychotherapy course, and she started at 9.
Miss Grey, said she was having dinner with her boyfriend Ian,
when the one-million-pound diamond was stolen from the city museum.
Chorus
What were you doing
when the diamond was stolen from the museum?
What were you doing? Last night at 10pm.
What were you doing
when the diamond was stolen from the museum?
What were you doing?
Jewellery theft. The past continuous.
Verse Two
The Police said, Mr Green wasnât clubbing at 10.
They said he was cutting the power to the museum right then.
The police said, Mr Red wasnât sleeping in bed.
They said he was distracting the museum security guard instead.
The police said, Miss Blue wasnât studying online.
They said she was climbing through a window at exactly this time.
The police said, Miss Grey wasnât having dinner with her boyfriend Ian.
She was lying on the cold floor of the city museum.
Verse Three
So, Mr Green, Mr Red, Miss Blue and Miss Grey.
They said they were doing one thing at 10, but the police saw it another way.
Now theyâre all locked up, safely behind bars.
But I saw the strangest thing earlier today from my car.
Mr Yellow, Mr Pink, Miss Purple and Miss Orange
were putting four costumes in the bin,
while checking if anyone was watching.
A green costume, a red costume a blue costume and grey.
They were smiling to each other, and Iâm sure that I heard one say:
âDiamonds are forever. Itâs time to cash in.â
It seems they were robbing the city museum last night at 10pm.
Four tickets to the Caribbean,
each one a one-way trip.
The last thing I saw was eight police cars
racing down the runway strip.
