Lila got distracted on the blow off The cardinal rule of being on the run Never get your honey Where you get your money Never mix romance with a gun
Jimmy was a roper on the west side Blackie had a handle on the crew Tossing Broads and Crazy Larry Swinging Priests and Pregnant Mary The only life these bunnies really knew

On the coast of Argentina In the town of San Major There's a statue of a lady Who cold be somewhat shady And no one knows what the hell it's for
