City Kids
Well I’m walkin’ down the walkin’ street
And I’m only 13 years old
I could be black and I could be white
But for sure I’m young and bold
‘Round about midnight and all that jazz
You can hear it on my radio
No mystery no razz-a-ma-tazz
I got no place to go
On the Boulevard of Crime
Stealin’ for a dime
Better tell ya’ just what I did
On the avenue of thieves
Delinquents and reprieves
Orphans and the City Kids
Better tell ya’ just what I did
For a thrill I killed a cab driver
Better tell ‘ya just what I did
For a laugh I raped an old survivor
Better tell ya’ just what I did
Beat a girl, yеs I really hurt her
Bettеr tell ya’ just what I did
Beat the rap for first degree murder
On the Boulevard of Crime
Stealin’ for a dime
Better tell ya’ just what I did
On the avenue of thieves
Delinquents and reprieves
Orphans and the City Kids
Uncle Nat was listenin’ to that old music on the Hi-Fi
Lester Young and Louis Armstrong and everybody sittin’ ’round gettin’ high
Shootin’ dope, shootin’ dope, shootin’ dope
‘Long the Boulevard of Crime
Stealin’ for a dime
Better tell ya’ just what I did
The avenue of thieves
Delinquents and reprieves
Orphans and the City Kids
