Tenement Funster My new purple shoes bin amazin the people next door And my rock n roll 45s bin enragin the folks on the lower floor I got a way with girls on my block Try my best be a real individual And when we go down to smokies and rock They line up like its some kinda ritual Oh give me a good guitar and you can say that my hairs a disgrace Or just give me an open car Ill make the speed of light outta this place I like the good things in life But most of the best things aint free And this same situation just cuts like a knife When youre young and youre poor and youre crazy But oh give me a good guitar and you can say that my hairs a disgrace Or just give me an open car Ill make the speed of light outta this place
