^G#mJohnny's in the ^Ebasement, ^Ebmixin' up the ^Emedicine, ^G#mI'm on the ^Epavement, ^Ebthinking about the ^Egovernment. ^G#mThe man in the ^Etrench coat, ^Ebbadge out, ^Elaid off, ^G#mSays he's got a ^Ebad cough, ^Ebwants to get it ^Epaid off.

^C#Look out, ^Bkid, it's ^Bbmsomething you ^Bdid, ^C#God knows ^Bwhen, but you're ^Bbmdoin' it a^Bgain. ^C#Better duck down the ^Balleyway, ^Bbmlookin' for a ^Bnew friend. ^EbMan in the coonskin cap, in the big pen, ^EbWants eleven dollar bills, you only got ten.

^G#mMaggie comes ^Efleet foot, ^Ebface full of ^Eblack soot, ^G#mTalking that the ^Eheat put plants in the ^Ebbed but the phone's tapped ^Eanyway, ^G#mMaggie says that ^Emany say, ^Ebthey must bust in ^Eearly May, ^G#mOrders from the ^ED.A.^{Eb E}
