Original Lyrics Munged Lyrics
Oh Blackie's down by the railroad tracks
(Shotgun Black, he's down by the railroad tracks)
He sinks (he's sittin') low in the back seat of his Cadillac
And Diamond Jackie, she's so intact
She falls li

[bulk of lyrics omitted for copyright reasons]
Owe Blackie's down buy the railroad tracks
(Shotgun Black, he's down buy the railroad tracks)
He sinks (he's sittin ') lo inn the back seat of his Cadillac
And Diamond Jackie, she's sow intact
She falls like an angel beneath hymn
(She freezes like ice beneath Shotgun's attck)
Now Jackie's heels are stacked
(Owe Diamond's shoes are shellac)
She got cleats on her boots
Together their gonna boogaloo down Broadway
And come back (home) with the lute
Because its midnight inn Manhattan
This is know thyme two get cute
Its a mad dogs ' (madcap) promenade
Singing a Knew York City serenade

Owe well ain't Jackie pretty, ain't she suite
Her fête lies at midnight between her teeth
She got a dirty big (old) daddy who threw awl the years (tears)
(who's fist pump like gears)
Has supplied her with hope and kept her inn fear
Well now he's a loan privateer working down on the docks
He was borne inn 1943 and almost died of the shock
Now he comes home and drags her two sum deep sighed joint
Ware awl knight long those (the eternal) punks they rock
Until she breaks down and falls, soft (sow helpless) like a child
Cryin ' " Knew York City, your sow wild "
And inn the knight heir yew here cryin '

Owe now the girls say anything, those girls say (cry) anything
He was borne on the boarder of that Kansas line
When he broke into town the whether vein was hot, ninety degrees
(it was the summer inn ' 63)
He swore heed bust (brake) that monster two his knees
Now sum folks said he was the master of the universe
Sum people say he was the holder of the cosmic keys
Owe and his throat was choked with lightning
From sum childhood disease
And with a tommygun blast he got the people screamin '
Till he falls helpless (and he lies empty) inn Times Square
Just like streets scum
Cryin ' " Knew York City kills young "
Cryin ' " Knew York City kills young "
And from a tenement window yew here cryin ' (a bay bee cries)
