| I've got my plaid rags on | |
| I've got somewhere to be | |
| Got to get that clam and feed my family | |
| Walkin' nice and slow | |
| I've got to get in edge | |
| With a flapper on my arm everyone's dancin | |
| I'm on the lam assigned to get a wiggle on | |
| (chorus) | |
| And no one knows | |
| This hooch can't be exposed | |
| And I'm living just above the law | |
| Oh tommy gun | |
| Won't you set me free | |
| Cause the pool's closin' in | |
| And my kids have gotta eat | |
| Meet me at the speakeasy | |
| Got all my hoods and capers | |
| Hands up behind the chin mill | |
| This gun is smokin' and it's read for a close enounter | |
| Heads up and run (heads up and go) | |
| Man down these cops have got to go | |
| Bullets sprayin' blood is spillin' | |
| And we won't stop 'til their dead. | |
| Say hello to my little friends | |
| And no one knows | |
| This hooch can't be exposed | |
| And I'm living just above the law | |
| Oh tommy gun | |
| Won't you set me free | |
| Cause the pool's closin' in | |
| And my kids have gotta eat | |
| Meet me at the speakeasy | |
| Caught in a good job turnin' | |
| My last words escape the barrel | |
| I rather die tonight | |
| Than drop my gun give up my freedom | |
| Caught in a good job turnin' | |
| (Just drop your gun) | |
| My last words escape the barrel | |
| (Cause there's nowhere that you can run) | |
| I'd rather die tonight | |
| Than drop my gun give up my freedom | |
| Caught in a good job turning' | |
| (Just drop your gun) | |
| My last words escape the barrel | |
| (Cause there's nowhere that you can run) | |
| I'd rather die tonight | |
| Than drop my gun give up my freedom | |
| You can't escape the long arm of the law | |
| And no one knows | |
| This hooch can't be exposed | |
| And I'm living just above the law | |
| Oh tommy gun | |
| Won't you set me free | |
| Cause the pool's closin' in | |
| And my kids have gotta eat | |
| Meet me at the speakeasy |
