Down the court road early
Christ, He told her not to bother
Christ, He told her not to bother
(Hanging around)
With the leather all around me
He's high above the ground
(Hanging around)
'Cause He's alright in the city
He's just hanging around
And she's got the barley fever
There's a million of 'em selling
He's just hanging around
'Cause He's alright in the city
He's just hanging around
He's just hanging around
One of 'em comes over
(Hanging around)
They're just hanging around
'Cause He's alright in the city
(Hanging around)
She's just hanging around
But his eyes are on the ground
They're just hanging around
And the buyers can be found
Got a monkey on his shoulder
He's just hanging around
Christ, He told his mother
(Hanging around)
(Hanging around)
(Hanging around)
(Hanging around)
And the sweat is getting steamy
He's just hanging around
He's just hanging around
He's just hanging around
But she doesn't make a sound
He's just hanging around
He's just hanging around
They're just hanging around
(Hanging around)
(Hanging around)
He's just hanging around
Christ, He told his mother
And the monkey's getting grinner
He's just hanging around
I'm moving to a coleheme
He's just hanging around
They're just hanging around
(Hanging around)
But their eyes are on the ground
'Cause He's high above the ground
He's just hanging around
With the hustlers big and burly
Christ, He told his mother
'Cause He's high above the ground
Christ, He told her not to bother
(Hanging around)
He's just hanging around
She's just hanging around
He's just hanging around
(Hanging around)
