Summer '43 the man's gunnin' for me
Blue and white mean war tonight
They say damn my pride and all
The other cats livin' down eastside
Or maybe just my brim's too wide
Oooh Marie you better grab my jack
And zip gun for me
And I'll face no shame
'Cause tonight's the night I die for our name
Well when we hit downtown
We start to throw down
We end up doing time
Soon as they've met us
They're out to get us
So I stick with that gang of mine
