I swear
He must be new cuz he ain't from here
Gonna bust him down
With a left to the ear
VERSE 2
Got knocked on the floor
After they took my lucky jacket
But you can't have my guitar so
I swung my case and kicked 'em in the face
I had my lights knocked out in New York City
But when I came to I saw a beautiful woman starin' down at me
And so I just had to say
CHORUS

VERSE 3
Back in her crib, we played strip poker
I was losing big,
Down to nothing but my boots and
My feather in my hair when she
Took off her wig
And said you been had, I'm a man
This is my gun
Give me your money, and run
PLAY INTRO
Ah, who's the white boy over there?
With the feather in his hair
And no under wear
He must be smokin' or jokin' I swear
Trippin on sometin'
Butt naked runnin' through Times Square
VERSE 4
So I grab my guitar and I fly down 42nd street
And I stopped in Times Square
And played my song, here's a little ditty for NY City
No one seemed to notice
Only made a few pennies
Was about to move on
When I saw a couple of guys comin' for me
Saying something like 'white boy'
--------------------------------------------------------
then just improvise he starts singin and arsing about
after that and im not gonna try and type that! ok i tabbed
this because sumone asked for the words but ive also put in
just to let me know i didnt waste my time!
