Gadzooks, Batman, It's the G-String Gang! Holy Underwear! -- LONDON (Reuters) - Cheeky thieves, dubbed the "G-string Gang" by the British press, made off with thousands of pounds worth of racy underwear after a daylight raid on upmarket lingerie designer Agent Provocateur, a spokesman said on Tuesday. The central London headquarters of Agent Provocateur, a favorite among celebrities such as Kate Moss and Liz Hurley, was burgled over the weekend by thieves who carried off 27,000 pounds ($40,000) worth of lacy bras, knickers and corsets as well as shoes and jewelry. "We were all working upstairs when it appears the thieves broke down the front door and managed to steal the collections from the basement," said Agent Provocateur founder Joe Corre. But the thieves, who got away with the fashion house's new collection, had not made an intelligent choice in targeting such an exclusive boutique, he said. "The very nature of the designs, being so distinctive, renders them instantly recognizable, making it easier to track the thieves down, whatever they try to do with the collection." Agent Provocateur is known for its sexy, slinky and expensive designs which include one-off corsets, suspenders, stockings and G-strings. A spokesman for London's Metropolitan Police said the burglary was being investigated but there was no description of the suspects.

(Tune: Fiddlers Green)

I walked by Headquarters one evening so fair
To view all the models in their underwear!
the bras, thongs and corsets designed for a fee
Knickers and teddies and things I shouldn't see

Chorus:
Wrap her up in silk, leather or latex
Cotton, linen, lace or a fur
The better design is just one of kind
And I'll buy one someday......for my favorite girl!

Suspenders and stockings and g-strings galore
Whenever I see them I want to see more
Unmentionable undies way out of my league
The kind that make any man's heart try to seize

chorus

The window is empty, not a model in sight
I nearly keeled over in shock and in fright
My God! What has happened at my favourite store?
To put scads of police tape on window and door?

chorus

Seems thieves they broke in through the door in the front
And stole the designs worth plenty of blunt
Outrageous! Horrendous! The nerve of those thieves!
I tell you I'm really goin' to get peeved!

chorus

Joe Corre, designer at Pro-voc-a-tuer
He says they'll regret that they burgled his store
The black market won't touch things made one of a kind
One look and the cops will know it's one of mine!

chorus

I hope that Joe's brain it is still crankin' out
those kind of designs that will make a man shout
And soon I would hope to review all his stock
Whenever I stroll by on my evening walk

Wrap her up in silk, leather or latex
Cotton, linen, lace or a fur
The better design is just one of kind
And I'll buy one someday......for my favorite girl!
