Well, I'm a-walkin' down the walkin' street
And I'm only thirteen years old
I could be black and I could be white
But for sure I'm a-young and bold
'Round about midnight and all that jazz
You can hear it on my radio
No mystery, no razzmatazz
I got no place to go
On the boulevard of crime, stealin' for a dime
Better tell you just a-what I did
On the avenue of thieves, delinquents and reprieves
Orphans and the city kids
City kids

Better tell you just a-what I did
For a thrill I killed a cab driver
Better tell you just a-what I did
For a laugh I raped an old survivor
Better tell you just a-what I did
Beat a girl, yes, I really hurt her
Better tell you just a-what I did
Beat the rap for first degree murder
On the boulevard of crime, stealin' for a dime
Better tell you just a-what I did
On the avenue of thieves, delinquents and reprieves
Orphans and the city kids

Uncle Nat was listenin' to that old music on the hi-fi
Lester Young, Louis Armstrong
And everybody sittin' 'round gettin' high
Shootin' dope, shootin' dope, shootin' dope
Shootin' dope, shootin' dope, shootin' dope
Shootin' dope, shootin' dope, shootin' dope
Shootin' dope, shootin' dope, shootin' dope
Shootin' dope, shootin' dope
On the boulevard of crime, stealin' for a dime
Better tell you just a-what I did
The avenue of thieves, delinquents and reprieves
Orphans and the city kids
