“53rd and 3rd” was written by Dee Dee Ramone. His drug habit led to him selling his body as a male, teenage prostitute. The song recalls his experience on the streets.
[Verse: Joey Ramone]
If you think you can, well, come on man
I was a Green Beret in Vietnam
I said, no more of your fairy stories
'Cause I got my other worries
[Chorus: Joey Ramone]
53rd and 3rd, standing on the street
53rd and 3rd, I'm trying to turn a trick
53rd and 3rd, you're the one they never pick
53rd and 3rd, don't it make you feel sick?
[Verse: Joey Ramone]
If you think you can, well, come on man
I was a Green Beret in Vietnam
I said, no more of your fairy stories
'Cause I got my other worries
[Chorus: Joey Ramone]
53rd and 3rd, standing on the street
53rd and 3rd, I'm trying to turn a trick
53rd and 3rd, you're the one they never pick
53rd and 3rd, don't it make you feel sick?
[Bridge: Dee Dee Ramone]
Then I took out my razor blade
Then I did what God forbade
Now the cops are after me
But I proved that I'm no sissy
[Chorus: Joey Ramone]
53rd and 3rd, standing on the street
53rd and 3rd, I'm trying to turn a trick
53rd and 3rd, you're the one they never pick
53rd and 3rd, don't it make you feel sick?
[Outro: Joey Ramone]
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
