DANNY BONADUCE: When I started to grow up, when I didn't have the kid's face anymore, and people didn't stop me every day on the street and ask me for my autograph, and I really had to get by... on my own, on my own abilities, that, that was tough

I just read the news in the paper yesterday
Danny Bonaduce just got busted in LA
He used to be ten years old, now he's twenty-five
Busted for narcotics, and he's facing ten to life

Danny Partridge busted
It happened just the other day
Danny Partridge busted
Now they're gonna lock him away

We'll never see his freckled face smiling anymore
They're gonna put him in a cell and double lock the door
Shirley, Keith, and Reuben, I wonder where you are
Next time you see Danny, he'll be safely behind bars

Danny Partridge busted
Happened just the other day
Danny Partridge busted

And he got busted
It never happened to me
He got busted
