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

Or maybe just my brim's too wide



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 I like to be swingin

Dancin and singing

Just having a good time

Free to do whatever

Now more than ever

Ive got to stick with that gang of mine
