Benny got a new tattoo
|
Down at the St. Mark's Zoo
|
|
He walked down to the park
|
Drinkin 40's, till it's dark
|
Talkin to a grey haired man
|
In a tie-dyed shirt and ragged pants
|
He said,
|
That's where the hippies used to play
|
Down on Avenue A
|
|
Susie got a new pair of shoes
|
Now she don't know what to do
|
|
So she's sitting in the Park
|
Smokin pot till it's dark
|
Talking to a toothless man
|
With spiky hair
|
And leather pants
|
He said,
|
I knew Stiv in the day
|
And that's where the junkies used to play
|
Down on Avenue A
|
|
When every memory is gone
|
and everything you know is wrong
|
|
Takin the edge off on a beautiful day
|
with a Frappacino and a cr?e brulee
|
yeah, it's all over when you see a Range Rover
|
and to my bodega, I say hasta luega
|
|
it's not what you do, it's what you say
|
and it's not who you know, it's who you pay
|
|
Down on Avenue A
