Paroles
0:22Johnny's in the basement
0:23Mixing up the medicine
0:25I'm on the pavement
0:26Thinking about the government
0:28The man in the trench coat
0:29Badge out laid off
0:31Says he's got a bad cough
0:32Wants to get it paid off
0:39Look out kid
0:41It's something you did
0:42God knows when
0:43But you're doing it again
0:45You better duck down the alleyway
0:46Looking for a new friend
0:48The man in the coonskin
0:49Cap by the big pen
0:51Wants eleven dollar bills
0:52You only got ten
1:05Maggie comes fleet foot
1:07Face full of black soot
1:08Talking that the heat
1:09Put plants in the bed but
1:11The phone's tapped anyway
1:12Maggie says that many say
1:14They must bust in early May
1:15Orders from the D A
1:23Look out kid don't matter what you did
1:25Walk on your tiptoes
1:27Don't try No Doz
1:28Better stay away from those
1:30That carry around a fire hose
1:32Keep a clean nose watch the plainclothes
1:34You don't need a weatherman
1:35To know which way the wind blows
2:00Get sick get well
2:02Hang around the inkwell
2:03Ring bell
2:04Hard to tell if anything is gonna sell
2:06Try hard get barred get back write braille
2:09Get jailed jump bail
2:10Join the army if you fail
2:24Get born keep warm
2:25Short pants romance
2:27Learn to dance get dressed
2:28Get blessed try to be a success
2:30Please her please him buy gifts
2:32Don't steal don't lift
2:34Twenty years of schooling
2:35And they put you on the day shift
2:41Look out kid they keep it all hid
2:44Better jump down a manhole
2:45Light yourself a candle
2:47Don't wear sandals
2:48Try to avoid the scandals
2:50Don't want to be a bum
2:51You better chew gum
2:53The pump don't work
2:54'Cause the vandals took the handles
Johnny'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 something you did God knows when But you're doing it again You better duck down the alleyway Looking for a new friend The man in the coonskin Cap by the big pen Wants eleven dollar bills You only got ten Maggie comes fleet foot Face full of black soot Talking 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 tiptoes Don't try No Doz Better stay away from those That carry around a fire hose Keep a clean nose watch the plainclothes You don't need a weatherman To know which way the wind blows Get sick get well Hang around the inkwell Ring bell Hard to tell if anything is gonna sell Try hard get barred get back write braille Get jailed jump bail Join the army if you fail 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 schooling 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
