She would run, run, run, run
Take a Jagger, too
Run, run, run, run, run
Change is after you
Tell her what'd you do
She would run, run, run, run, run,
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy, death and you
Tell you what you do
You gotta run, run, run, run, run
Take your jacket too
or
You gotta run, run, run, run, run
Jigga Jagga Joo
or
You gotta run, run, run, run, run
Jigga Jagga Joo
You gotta run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
You were born outside of the raw
You were born outside of the law
Ride, ride, ride
Run, run, run

Take a jacket too
You better run, run, run, run, run
Take Fifth Avenue.

Take Fifth Avenue.
You gotta run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two.
You tie your tie like you hang your boots.
You tie your tie like a hangman's noose.
