The Original 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
