Capo V *
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 in the pig pen
Wants
eleven dollar bills, but
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
tip toes, don’
t tie no bows
Be
tter 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
Ah,
get sick, get well,
hang around the Ink Well
Ring a bell, hard to tell if
anything is going 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 l
osers, cheaters,
six-time users
Hanging 'round the
theaters
Girl by the whirlpool's looking for a new fool
Don't follow leaders, and
watch your parking 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 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 wanna be a bum, you better chew gum
The
pump don't work 'cause the
vandals took the handle
