Songs Title：small change[00:00:22]

Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight[00:00:43]

And nobody flinched down by the arcade[00:00:54]

And the marquees weren't weeping they went stark-raving mad[00:00:59]

And the cabbies were the only ones that really had it made[00:01:04]

And his cold trousers were twisted and the sirens high and shrill[00:01:08]

And crumpled in his fist was a five-dollar bill[00:01:14]

And the naked mannequins with their Cheshire grins[00:01:18]

And the raconteurs and roustabouts said 'Buddy come on in 'cause[00:01:23]

'Cause the dreams ain't broken down here now they're walking with a limp[00:01:29]

Now that Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight'[00:01:34]

And nobody flinched down by the arcade[00:01:40]

And the burglar alarm's been disconnected[00:01:44]

And the newsmen start to rattle[00:01:47]

And the cops are telling jokes about some whorehouse in Seattle[00:01:50]

And the fire hydrants plead the Fifth Amendment[00:01:57]

And the furniture is bargains galore[00:02:00]

But the blood is by the jukebox on an old linoleum floor[00:02:03]

And what a hot rain on Forty-Second Street[00:02:09]

And now the umbrellas ain't got a chance[00:02:12]

And the newsboy's a lunatic with stains on his pants 'cause[00:02:15]

'Cause Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight[00:02:20]

And no one's gone over to close his eyes[00:02:26]

And there's a racing form in his pocket[00:02:29]

Circled 'Blue Boots' in the third[00:02:32]

And the cashier at the clothing store didn't say a word[00:02:36]

As the siren tears the night in half and someone lost his wallet[00:02:41]

Well a surveillance of assailance it that's what you want to call it[00:02:46]

And the whores hike up their skirts and fish for drug-store prophylactics[00:02:53]

With their mouths cut just like razor blades and their eyes are like stilettos[00:02:59]

And her radiator's steaming and her teeth are in a wreck and nah [00:03:05]

She won't let you kiss her but what the hell do you expect [00:03:09]

And the Gypsies are tragic and if you want to buy perfume[00:03:13]

Well they'll bark you down like carneys sell you Christmas cards in June but[00:03:17]

But Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight[00:03:24]

And his headstone's a gumball machine[00:03:30]

No more chewing gum or baseball cards or overcoats or dreams[00:03:33]

Someone's hosing down the sidewalk and he's only in his teens 'cause[00:03:39]

'Cause Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight[00:03:45]

And a fistful of dollars can't change that[00:03:51]

And someone copped his watch fob and someone got his ring[00:03:55]

And the newsboy got his porkpie Stetson hat[00:04:00]

And the tuberculosis old men at the Nelson wheeze and cough[00:04:03]

And someone will head south until this whole thing cools off 'cause[00:04:10]

'Cause Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight yeah[00:04:17]

Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight[00:04:23]
