A7
Johnnys in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
Im on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says hes got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
D7
Look out kid
Its somethin you did
A7
God knows when
But youre doin it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin for a new friend
E7
The man in the coon-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten
A7
Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phones tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early may
Orders from the d. a.
D7
Look out kid
Dont matter what you did
A7
Walk on your tip toes
Dont try no doz
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
E7
You dont need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows
A7
Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
D7
Look out kid
Youre gonna get hit
A7
But losers, cheaters
Six-time users
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin for a new fool
E7
Dont follow leaders
Watch the parkin meters
A7
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
Dont steal, dont lift
Twenty years of schoolin
And they put you on the day shift
D7
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
A7
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Dont wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Dont wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
E7
The pump dont work
cause the vandals took the handles
Hope this helped.
