[00:17.66] Johny's in the basement
[00:19.09] Mixing up the medicine
[00:20.45] I'm on the pavement
[00:21.83] Thinking about the government
[00:23.46] The man in the trench coat
[00:24.95] Badge out, laid off
[00:26.32] Says he's got a bad cough
[00:27.75] Wants to get it paid off
[00:29.69]
[00:35.50] Look out kid
[00:36.74] It's somethin' you did
[00:38.20] God knows when
[00:39.01] But you're doin' it again
[00:40.51] You better duck down the alley way
[00:42.26] Lookin' for a new friend
[00:43.47] The man in the coon-skip cap
[00:45.35] In the big pen
[00:46.41] Wants eleven dollar bills
[00:47.92] You only got ten.
[00:50.24]
[01:07.03] Maggie comes fleet foot
[01:08.22] Face full of black soot
[01:09.65] Talkin' that the heat put
[01:10.96] Plants in the bed but
[01:12.33] The phone's tapped anyway
[01:13.52] Maggie says that many say
[01:15.27] They must bust in early May
[01:16.89] Orders from the DA
[01:18.17]
[01:24.50] Look out kid
[01:25.81] Don't matter what you did
[01:27.31] Walk on your tip toes
[01:28.75] Don't try, 'No Doz'
[01:30.19] Better stay away from those
[01:31.68] That carry around a fire hose
[01:33.12] Keep a clean nose
[01:34.43] Watch the plain clothes
[01:35.54] You don't need a weather man
[01:36.99] To know which way the wind blows.
[01:38.99]
[01:56.53] Get sick, get well
[01:57.60] Hang around an ink well
[01:58.97] Ring bell, hard to tell
[02:00.22] If anything is goin' to sell
[02:01.64] Try hard, get barred
[02:03.02] Get back, write Braille
[02:04.52] Get jailed, jump bail Join the army, if you failed
[02:08.04]
[02:19.41] Ah get born, keep warm
[02:20.53] Short pants, romance, learn to dance
[02:22.59] Get dressed, get blessed
[02:24.02] Try to be a success
[02:25.52] Please her, please him, buy gifts
[02:27.66] Don't steal, don't lift
[02:29.15] Twenty years of schoolin'
[02:30.67] And they put you on the day shift
[02:32.61]
[02:35.31] Look out kid
[02:36.69] They keep it all hid
[02:38.11] Better jump down a manhole
[02:39.42] Light yourself a candle
[02:41.11] Don't wear sandals
[02:42.04] Try to avoid the scandals
[02:43.42] Don't wanna be a bum
[02:44.92] You better chew gum
[02:46.47] The pump don't work
[02:47.60] 'Cause the vandals took the handles.
[02:49.65]
[02:50.66]
