But losers, cheaters, six-time users
Please her, please him, buy gifts, don't steal, don't lift
Don't wanna be a bum you better chew gum
Maggie comes fleet foot face full of black soot
Wants eleven dollar bills, you only got ten
Look out kid, they keep it all hid
Get jailed, jump bail, join the army if you fail
Says "He's got a bad cough, wants to get it paid off"
Look out kid, don't matter what you did
Oh get born, keep warm, short pants, romance
Try hard, get barred, get back, write Braille
Look out kid, you're gonna get hit
Learn to dance, get dressed, get blessed, try to be a success
Don't wear sandals, try to avoid the scandals
Oh get sick, get well, hang around a ink well
Don't follow leaders, watch your parkin' meters
Keep a clean nose, watch the plain clothes
God knows when but you're doin' it again
"They must bust in early May, orders from the D.A"
Better jump down a manhole, light yourself a candle
The man in the coon-skin cap, in the big pen
Girl by the whirlpool, lookin' for a new fool
You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows
Ring bell, hard to tell, if anything is goin' to sell
Look out kid, it's somethin' you did
You better duck down the alley way, lookin' for a new friend
But walk on your tip toes don't tie no bows
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
Better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose
The man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off
Talkin' that the heat put, plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway, Maggie says that many say
Hangin' around the theaters
