Hey, let me show you the street life
|
Hey, let me show you the finks,
|
The punks, the judge, the junkies
|
Stay close to me for a while
|
For a while, for a while
|
|
Say boy, you got to get street wise
|
Hey, little boy
|
You're a babe in arms
|
Stay out of harm's way
|
Wait right here with me for a while
|
For a while, for a while
|
|
Street life, hell in the city
|
You got to really watch out for that
|
Street life
|
Say, it ain't pretty
|
You got to know your way around
|
Or somehow you might get hurt
|
Get hurt, get hurt
|
|
Say, let me show you the night life
|
Say, let me show you the queens
|
The dudes, the class, the crudes
|
The folks that inhabit the night
|
Let me set it right
|
|
I'm gonna give you my warning
|
I'm gonna tell you the street's alive
|
The sound of jive
|
You've just arrived
|
Try it for size for a while, for a while
|
|
Street life, hell in the city
|
You got to really watch out for that
|
Street life
|
Say, it ain't pretty
|
You got to know your way around
|
Or somehow you might get hurt
|
Get hurt, get hurt
|
