gonna

see

what

those

racket

boys

can

now

there's

trouble

bustin'

from

outta

state

and

the

D.A.

can't

get

relief

gonna

rumble

out

the

promenade

and

the

gambling

commission's

hanging

the

skin

its

teeth

well,

dies,

baby,

that's

fact,

but

maybe

everything

that

dies

someday

comes

back

put

your

makeup

and

meet

tonight

the

wrong

side

that

line

well

I'm

coming

out

the

honey

last

night

met

this

guy

and

I'm

gonna
