[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
Johnny’s in the basementMixing up the medicine
I’m on the pavement
Thinking about the government
A
The man in the trench coatBadge out, laid off
Says he’s got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
D
Look out kidIt’s somethin’ you did
A
God knows whenBut you’re doin’ it again
A
You better duck down the alley wayLookin’ for a new friend
E
The man in the coon-skin capBy the big pen
A
Wants eleven dollar billsYou only got ten
[Instrumental]
A
[Verse 2]
A
Maggie comes fleet footFace full of black soot
Talkin’ that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
A
The phone’s tapped anywayMaggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D.A.
D
Look out kidDon’t matter what you did
A
Walk on your tiptoesDon’t try “No-Doz”
A
Better stay away from thoseThat carry around a fire hose
E
Keep a clean noseWatch the plain clothes
A
You don’t need a weathermanTo know which way the wind blows
[Instrumental]
A
[Verse 3]
A
Oh, get sick, get wellHang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin’ to sell
A
Try hard, get barredGet back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
D
Look out kidYou’re gonna get hit
A
But losers, cheatersSix-time users
A Hang around the theaters E Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin’ for a new fool
A
Don’t follow leadersWatch the parkin’ meters
[Instrumental]
A
[Verse 4]
A
Ah get born, keep warmShort pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
A
Try to be a successPlease her, please him, buy gifts
Don’t steal, don’t lift
Twenty years of schoolin’
And they put you on the day shift
D
Look out kidThey keep it all hid
A
Better jump down a manholeLight yourself a candle
A
Don’t wear sandalsTry to avoid the scandals
E
Don’t wanna be a bumYou better chew gum
A
The pump don’t work’Cause the vandals took the handles
[Outro]
