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
