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 the east side

Tonight there's no place to hide



Hey Marie you better grab my jack

And zip gun for me

'Cause I'll face no shame

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
