lyrics

The Riff Thief

The deft thief tried it, third fret.
If he riffed it, it'd fit.
Dire, the fifth fret D he hit!
He'd hide the D, he'd edit it.

The fifer fifed, the frier fried,
the tiffer tiffed, the riff thief riffed.
The trier tried, the hider hid,
the tiffer tiffed, the riff thief riffed.

The diet he fed the tired herd
fed their ire, fed the rift.
The tired herd fired the fetid thief.
“Fire the riff thief! Fire the riff thief!”

The fifer fifed, the frier fried,
the tiffer tiffed, the riff thief riffed.
The trier tried, the hider hid,
the tiffer tiffed, the riff thief riffed.

I ride the tide, I dither, I drift.
If I fired the riff thief,
I'd differ.
I'd hire Fred Frith.
