|
Johny's in the basement |
|
Mixing up the medicine |
|
I'm on the pavement |
|
Thinking about the government |
|
The man in the trench coat |
|
Badge out, laid off |
|
Says he's got a bad cough |
|
Wants to get it paid off |
|
Look out kid |
|
It's somethin' you did |
|
God knows when |
|
But you're doin' it again |
|
You better duck down the alley way |
|
Lookin' for a new friend |
|
The man in the coon-skip cap |
|
In the big pen |
|
Wants eleven dollar bills |
|
You only got ten. |
|
Maggie comes fleet foot |
|
Face full of black soot |
|
Talkin' that the heat put |
|
Plants in the bed but |
|
The phone's tapped anyway |
|
Maggie says that many say |
|
They must bust in early May |
|
Orders from the DA |
|
Look out kid |
|
Don't matter what you did |
|
Walk on your tip toes |
|
Don't try, 'No Doz' |
|
Better stay away from those |
|
That carry around a fire hose |
|
Keep a clean nose |
|
Watch the plain clothes |
|
You don't need a weather man |
|
To know which way the wind blows. |
|
Get sick, get well |
|
Hang around an ink well |
|
Ring bell, hard to tell |
|
If anything is goin' to sell |
|
Try hard, get barred |
|
Get back, write Braille |
|
Get jailed, jump bail Join the army, if you failed |
|
Look out kid |
|
You're gonna get hit |
|
But losers, cheaters |
|
Six-time users |
|
Hang around the theaters |
|
Girl by the whirlpool |
|
Lookin' for a new fool |
|
Don't follow leaders |
|
Watch the parkin' meters. |
|
Ah get born, keep warm |
|
Short pants, romance, learn to dance |
|
Get dressed, get blessed |
|
Try to be a success |
|
Please her, please him, buy gifts |
|
Don't steal, don't lift |
|
Twenty years of schoolin' |
|
And they put you on the day shift |
|
Look out kid |
|
They keep it all hid |
|
Better jump down a manhole |
|
Light yourself a candle |
|
Don't wear sandals |
|
Try to avoid the scandals |
|
Don't wanna be a bum |
|
You better chew gum |
|
The pump don't work |
|
'Cause the vandals took the handles. |
