Johnny's in the basement

mixing up the medicine, I'm on the pavement, mixing up the medicine. The man in the trench coat bdge out, laid off, says he's got a bad cough, wants to get it paid off. Look out kid It's somethin' you did, God knows when, but you're doin' it again You better duck down the alley way. Lookin' for a new friend, The Man in the coon-skin cap in the big pen wants eleven dollar bills You only got ten.

1. Maggie comes fleet foot

Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D.A.
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try "No Doz"
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows

We need a few more Bob Dylans. Unfortunately, I don't think Dylan translates well to rap or Britney Spears.

4. Dunno about Dylan not translating to rap, B_O_F,

I'm starting to hear a real fat groove around the lyrics!
