Skid Row Blues

Well, all the hip cats on the corners, they don't look sharp no more

Yes, all the hip cats on the corner, they don't look sharp
No more. 'Cause the good times is over and the squares
Don't have no dough. Well, since the cops raided all the
Nightclubs, they don't know what to do. Yes, since the cops
Raided all the nightclubs, they don't know what to do. Now
They just stand on every corner, just as beat as me and you

Well, they used to ride the taxi from dawn till early dusk. Now
They take the streetcar and transfer to the bus. Yes, all the
Hip cats on the corner, they don't look sharp no more. 'Cause all
The good times is over and the square chicks don't have no dough

Well, now listen, listen, fellas, please take some good advice
If you've got a good square chick, please treat the poor girl nice
Else try this method, it may work out good. Just grab the nearest
Red car and make it out to Hollywood. Yes, 'cause the hip cats
On the corners, yes, they don't look sharp no more. 'Cause all
The square chicks on Fifth Street, they ain't got no more dough

Well, cab it to Twelfth and Central!
Well, I'm going down on Skid Row!
