[00:09.31] Johny's in the basement
[00:10.56] Mixing up the medicine
[00:11.81] I'm on the pavement
[00:13.19] Thinking about the government
[00:14.43] The man in the trench coat
[00:16.18] Badge out, laid off
[00:17.37] Says he's got a bad cough
[00:18.87] Wants to get it paid off
[00:20.24] Look out kid
[00:21.81] It's somethin' you did
[00:22.81] God knows when
[00:24.00] But you're doin' it again
[00:25.24] You better duck down the alley way
[00:26.99] Lookin' for a new friend
[00:28.24] The man in the coon-skip cap
[00:29.99] In the big pen
[00:30.93] Wants eleven dollar bills
[00:32.24] You only got ten.
[00:34.81]
[00:39.37] Maggie comes fleet foot
[00:40.74] Face full of black soot
[00:42.31] Talkin' that the heat put
[00:43.87] Plants in the bed but
[00:44.06]
[00:44.62] The phone's tapped anyway
[00:46.25] Maggie says that many say
[00:47.75] They must bust in early May
[00:49.25] Orders from the DA
[00:50.50] Look out kid
[00:51.69] Don't matter what you did
[00:53.50] Walk on your tip toes
[00:55.00] Don't try, 'No Doz'
[00:56.06] Better stay away from those
[00:57.56] That carry around a fire hose
[00:59.13] Keep a clean nose
[01:00.56] Watch the plain clothes
[01:01.94] You don't need a weather man
[01:03.38] To know which way the wind blows.
[01:05.94]
[01:11.19] Get sick, get well
[01:11.94] Hang around an ink well
[01:12.81] Ring bell, hard to tell
[01:14.00] If anything is goin' to sell
[01:15.50] Try hard, get barred
[01:16.69] Get back, write Braille
[01:18.26] Get jailed, jump bail Join the army, if you failed
[01:21.19] Look out kid
[01:22.37] You're gonna get hit
[01:23.56] But users, cheaters
[01:25.06] Six-time losers
[01:26.50] Hang around the theaters
[01:27.94] Girl by the whirlpool
[01:29.25] Lookin' for a new fool
[01:30.63] Don't follow leaders
[01:31.88] Watch the parkin' meters.
[01:34.19]
[01:40.19] Ah get born, keep warm
[01:41.88] Short pants, romance, learn to dance
[01:44.13] Get dressed, get blessed
[01:45.50] Try to be a success
[01:46.94] Please her, please him, buy gifts
[01:48.81] Don't steal, don't lift
[01:50.20] Twenty years of schoolin'
[01:51.56] And they put you on the day shift
[01:53.57] Look out kid
[01:54.50] They keep it all hid
[01:55.69] Better jump down a manhole
[01:56.94] Light yourself a candle
[01:58.44] Don't wear sandals
[01:59.63] Try to avoid the scandals
[02:01.19] Don't wanna be a bum
[02:03.19] You better chew gum
[02:04.32] The pump don't work
[02:05.32] 'Cause the vandals took the handles.
