[many instruments playing, then harmonica joins in]
Looking classy in his zoot suit - Passing counterfeit bills and paste
Backside numb in a water melon truck - Couldn't wipe that smile off of his face
He was as thin as a dollar bill
Like a muckraker slinging mud on capital hill
didn't want to die in anyone else's war
A gum ball kid with a bombay taxi horn
Eyes that look into the here after
Heads tilted back and noses pinched
There's only two ways to come out from the front
on a stretcher or stiff in a flag draped trunk
He was as thin as a dollar bill
Like a muckraker slinging mud on capital hill
didn't wanna die in anybody's war
A gum ball kid with a bombay taxi horn
[horns and guitar and music playing]
He was a fugitive long shore sailor
Drifting with a bald headed friend
Taking the jitney down broadway
Trying to hide the whiskers on his chin
He was thin as a dollar bill
Like a muckraker slinging mud on capital hill
didn't wanna die in anybody's war
He was a gum ball kid with a bombay taxi horn
[horns and music playing until end]
