Lyrics


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


Chorus:
For a little Flash
We can score big cash
Just Light the Flame
On the Badger Game
If you never risk it
Life's a Trip For Biscuits
You never get rich
Off the Jamaican Switch


Our girl Lila was a looker
Just not the brightest in the hall
But her hustler's education
Explained the situation
And Lila wouldn't stay behind the eight ball

Bridge:
The Hook was a line from a Penny and Dime
And some Babe Gam
The flash was a little cash
From the Butter And Egg Man
The shade was a Classic Fade
With a perfect Angle
Then they heard the Chicago Lightning
And they had to Dangle

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