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