I WANNA PLAY THE MIDWAY

i wanna
i wanna
i wanna
i wanna play the midway
on a saturday
i gotta call jay…hey
where all the hot shots
give my career a jump start
a fernet shot
playin’ punk rock…hey, hey!

it used t be the rat
where all the bands wr bangin’
on the east coast
where da hooker grls were
smokin’ +
the neighborhoods
were killin’ it
oi oi oi oi
oi oi oi oi

c

but the rat is dead n all we got
today
is jes the fuckin’ midway
w all the chicks r hangin
will we get paid?
i better ask jay
oi oi oi oi

ah…hm
you neighborhoods
not so hot
nobody come
oh
