Johnny’s in the basement
I’m on the pavement
The man in the trench coat
Says he’s got a bad cough
Look out kid
God knows when
You better duck down the alley way
The man in the coon-skin cap
Wants eleven dollar bills
Maggie comes fleet foot
Talkin’ that the heat put
The phone’s tapped anyway
They must bust in early May
Look out kid
Walk on your tiptoes
Better stay away from those
Keep a clean nose
You don’t need a weatherman
Get sick, get well
Ring bell, hard to tell
Try hard, get barred
Get jailed, jump bail
Look out kid
But users, cheaters
Hang around the theaters
Lookin’ for a new fool
Watch the parkin’ meters
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Twenty years of schoolin’
Look out kid
Better jump down a manhole
Don’t wear sandals
Don’t wanna be a bum
The pump don’t work
