Subterranean Homesick Blues |
| Johnny’s in the basement |
| Mixing up the medicine |
| I’m on the pavement |
| Thinking about the government |
| The man in the trench coat |
| Badge out, laid off |
| Says he’s got a bad cough |
| Wants to get it paid off |
| Look out kid |
| It’s somethin' you did |
| God knows when |
| But you’re doin' it again |
| You better duck down the alley way |
| Lookin' for a new friend |
| The man in the coon-skin cap |
| In the big pen |
| Wants eleven dollar bills |
| You only got ten |
| Maggie comes fleet foot |
| Face full of black soot |
| Talkin' that the heat put |
| Plants in the bed but |
| The phone’s tapped anyway |
| Maggie says that many say |
| They must bust in early May |
| Orders from the D. A |
| Look out kid |
| Don’t matter what you did |
| Walk on your tip toes |
| Don’t try «No Doz» |
| Better stay away from those |
| That carry around a fire hose |
| Keep a clean nose |
| Watch the plain clothes |
| You don’t need a weather man |
| To know which way the wind blows |
| 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 |
| Look out kid |
| You’re gonna get hit |
| But users, cheaters |
| Six-time losers |
| Hang around the theaters |
| Girl by the whirlpool |
| Lookin' for a new fool |
| Don’t follow leaders |
| Watch the parkin' meters |
| 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 |
| Don’t steal, don’t lift |
| Twenty years of schoolin' |
| And they put you on the day shift |
| Look out kid |
| They keep it all hid |
| Better jump down a manhole |
| Light yourself a candle |
| Don’t wear sandals |
| Try to avoid the scandals |
| Don’t wanna be a bum |
| You better chew gum |
| The pump don’t work |
| 'Cause the vandals took the handles |
