| A7 | |
| Johnny's in the basement mixin up the medicine |
| I'm on the pavement thinkin bout the goverment |
| man in a trenchcoat badge out laid off |
| says he's got a bad cough |
| want's to get it paid off |
| D7 | |
| look out kid somthin ya did |
| A7 | |
| god knows when |
| but your doin it again |
| better duck down the alleyway |
| lookin for a new friend |
| E7 | |
| man in a coonskin cap and a pigpen |
| wants |
| A7 | |
| 11 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 |
| phoned tapped anyway |
| maggie says that many say |
| must bust in early May |
| orders from the DA |
| look out kid your gonna get hit |
| by losers, cheaters, six time users |
| hangin round the theaters |
| girl by the whirlpool |
| lookin for a new fool |
| don't follow leaders |
| watch your parkin meters |
| get sick get well |
| hang around the ink well |
| hang bell(?) |
| hard to tell |
| if anything is going to sell |
| try hard, get barred |
| get back, ride rail |
| get jailed, jump bail |
| join the army if you fail |
| look out kid don't matter what ya did |
| better walk on your tip toes |
| don't tie no bows |
| better stay away from those |
| who 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 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 |
| 20 years of schoolin' and they put ya on the dayshift |
| look out kid they keep it all hid |
| better jump down a manhole |
| light yourself a candle |
| don't wear sandles |
| try to avoid the scandles |
| don't wanna be a bum |
| ya better chew gum |
| the pump don't work cause the vandals took the handles |
