Beastie Boys - Johnny Ryall

Текст песни

Johnny Ryall is the bum on my stoop\nI gave him fifty cents to buy some soup\nHe knows the time, with the fresh Gucci watch\nHe’s even more over than my mayor Ed Koch\nWashing windows on the Bowery at a quarter to four\n'Cause he ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s Farm no more\nLiving on borrowed time and borrowed money\nSleepin' in the street there ain’t a damn thing funny\nWith the hand me down food and hand me down clothes\nA rockabilly past of which nobody knows\nMakes his home all over the place\nHe goes to sleep by falling down on his face\nSometimes known as the leader of the homeless\nSometimes drunk, man that kid’s always phoneless\nSleepin' on the street in a cardboard box\nBetter off drinkin' than smokin' the rocks\nJohnny Ryall, Johnny Ryall\n(Kickin' uptown, kickin' downtown, kickin' crosstown)\nJohnny Ryall, Johnny Ryall\nHe drinks where he lies, he’s covered with flies\nHe’s got the hand me down Pumas and the tie dyes\nWell, you go upstate you get your head together\nThunderbird is the word and you’re light as a feather\nDetox at the flop house, no booze allowed\nRemember the good old days with the rockabilly crowd\nMemphis is where he’s from\nHe lives in the street but he’s no bum\nHe’s a rockabilly star from the days of old\nHe used to have teeth all filled with gold\nHe got a platinum voice but only gold records\nOn the bass was boots on the drums was checkers\nLuis Vuitton with the Gucci guitar\nJohnny Ryall, who do you think you are?\nJohnny Ryall, Johnny Ryall\n(Drinking Night Train, drinkin' OE)\nJohnny Ryall, Johnny Ryall\nDonald Trump and Donald Tramp living in the Men’s Shelter\nWonder Bread bag shoes, and singing Helter Skelter\nHe asks for a dollar, you know what it’s for\nMan, bottle after bottle, he always needs more\nHe’s no less important than you working class stiffs\nHe drinks a lot of liquor but he don’t drink piss\nHe paid his dues, playing the blues\nHe claims that he wrote the Blue Suede Shoes\nElvis shaved his head when he went to the army\nThat’s right y’all his name is Johnny\n(Kick it)\nJohnny Ryall, Johnny Ryall\nJohnny Ryall, Johnny Ryall\n© POLYGRAM INT.
