Johnny's in
the basement
Mixing up
the medicine
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
doing it again
You better
duck down the alleyway
Lookin' for
a new friend
The man in
the coonskin cap,in the big pen
Wants
eleven dollar bills but 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 D.A. 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
a 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 fail
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 want
to be a bum
You better
chew gum
The pump
don't work
'Cause the
vandals took the handles
