Verse 1:
Well, B7time is always money,
For the E7boys on Union Square.
Go on and B7bust your ass 'till doomsday,
Don't for-E7get to say your prayers.
B7Someone's riding down the backstreet,
Said E7papa got a brand new slack.
And your B7baby is handcuffed on the front seat,
Sit right E7there, boy and you re-F#7lax. C'mon, honey...
Chorus 1:
We're all going B7down, down, down, down-F#7town,
We're going B7down, down-E7town, we're going B7down, F#7down-B7town.
Verse 2:
Well, you B7spill out of the Cinema Fourteen,
To that E7drag bar, there on the block.
B7Whizzin' on down in front of the East Coast,
E7Bank rolled up on your sock.
She B7stand right there, for your pleasure,
E7Half Puerto Rican Chinese.
You got to B7find your baby somebody to measure,
I'm going to E7get me some of F#7these, baby.
Chorus 2:
We're all going B7down, down, down, down-F#7town,
We're going B7down, down-E7town, we're going B7down, F#7down-B7town.
Verse 3:
'Bout B7four in the morning on a Sunday,
E7Sacco drinking whiskey in church.
B7Half pint of festival brandy,
That E7boy 'bout to fall right off his perch.
B7Well, that guy in the sweater's off duty,
E7Well, he's out in front of that Welfare hotel.
The B7guy in the dress is a beauty;
Go all the E7way, I swear you never can F#7tell.
Chorus 3:
We're all going B7down, down, down, down-F#7town,
We're going B7down, down-E7town, we're going B7down, F#7down-B7town.
Solo:
B7   F#7  B7, E7  B7, F#7  B7  
Chorus 4:
We're all going B7down, down, down, down-F#7town,
We're going B7down, down-E7town, we're going B7down, F#7down-B7town.
