This is a song about Led Zeppelin. I wrote, produced and recorded the song in one setting in my studio in about 3 hours. Everything is first take. Kept it real, kept it raw.

Lyrics
" Kings of Thieves " - Les July c. 2012 Drop down Willie, it's alright tonite, Got a lil tune, gonna make it mine. A whole lotta shakin', here comes the shake DOWN, Where's the original ? It's been gagged & bound, because... You, you're the Kings of Thieves You, you're the Kings of Thieves Now you, you're the Kings of Thieves And you, you're the Kings of Thieves How many more years can you hear the Wolf Howlin' ? They call you the hunter, but what about Albert (King) ? Do you use lemon to clean the killing floor ? Lifting blues classics while coming in through the out door. You, you're the Kings of Thieves You, you're the Kings of Thieves Now you, you're the Kings of Thieves And you, you're the Kings of Thieves *...and 'Jimi' asks " What ever did happen to Rosie & The Originals ? " * You, you're the Kings of Thieves You, you're the Kings of Thieves Now you, you're the Kings of Thieves And you, you're the Kings of Thieves.
