Lyrics

BANG BANG BABY
words and music by Richard Cosey

Georgie?s got more than he bargained for tonight
Cause I?m from the side of the sidewalk that the sun don?t light.
I?ve got a gun in my pocket, a shiny, black 38.
But by the time you see it, it?ll be too late.

Chorus:
When you hear Bang Bang Baby Bang Bang Baby say goodnight
When you hear Bang Bang Baby Bang Bang Baby say goodnight

The radio played as my anticipation grew
I come out of the shadows, cross Pennsylvania Avenue
There?s no secret to their service, their suits are a shiny black and white.
I may be on their playground, but I came to play all night.

Chorus
Bridge:
Well I know I?m only dreamin, no blood on Georgie?s floor
But that won?t stop the secrets, from bangin down my door
They know what I?ve been thinking, so hold my check for bail.
If you dream this kind of dream, it?s gonna land your ass in jail
When you hear?

Chorus
