[Intro]
A7 D A7 D x3
[Verse 1]
A7Johny's in the baseDment,A7Mixing up the mediD7cine
A7I'm on the paveDment, A7Thinking about the governD7ment
The A7man in the trench Dcoat, A7Badge out, laid D7off
A7Says he's got a bad Dcough, A7Wants to get it paid D7off
D7Look out kid It's somethin' you did
A7God knows when, DBut you're A7doin' it again
You D7better A7duck down the alley Dway
A7Lookin' for a new D7friend
The Eman in the coon-skip cap, In the big pen
Wants A7eleven dollar bills,D A7You only got D7ten.
[Verse 2]
A7Maggie comes fleet Dfoot, A7Face full of black D7soot
A7Talkin' that the heat Dput, A7Plants in the bed D7but
The A7phone's tapped anyDway, A7Maggie says that many D7say
They A7must bust in early DMay, A7Orders from the D7da
D7Look out kid, Don't matter what you did
A7Walk on your tip Dtoes, A7Don't try, 'No D7Doz'
A7Better stay away from Dthose
That A7carry around a fire D7hose
EKeep a clean nose, Watch the plain clothes
You A7don't need a weather Dman
To A7know which way the wind D7blows
[Verse 3]
A7Get sick, get Dwell, A7Hang around an ink D7well
A7Ring bell, hard to Dtell, A7If anything is goin' to D7sell
A7Try hard, get barDred, A7Get back, write BD7raille
A7Get jailed, jump Dbail A7Join the army, if you D7fail
D7Look out kid, You're gonna get hit
By A7losers, cheaDters, A7Six-time D7users
A7Hang around the theaters
EGirl by the whirlpool lookin' for a new fool
A7Don't follow Dleaders, A7Watch the parkin' meters.
[Verse 4]
Ah A7get born, keep Dwarm
A7Short pants, D7romance, A7learn to dance
Get Ddressed, A7get blessed, Try to D7be a A7success
Please Dher, A7please him, buy D7gifts
A7Don't steal, don't Dlift
A7Twenty years of schoolin'
D7And they A7put you on the day Dshift
D7Look out kid, They keep it all hid
Better A7jump down a manDhole
A7Light yourself a D7candle, A7Don't wear sanDdals
A7Try to avoid the scanD7dals
EDon't wanna be a bum, You better chew gum
The A7pump don't work
D'Cause the A7vandals took the handles.
