“Judy Is a Punk” – written around the same time as “Beat on the Brat” — was written by Joey after he walked by Thorny Croft, an apartment building “where all the kids in the neighborhood hung out on the rooftop and drank.” The song’s lyrics are fictional and refer to two juvenile offenders in Berlin...
[Verse 1]
Jackie is a punk
Judy is a runt
They both went down to Berlin
Joined the Ice Capades
[Chorus]
And oh, I don't know why
Oh, I don't know why
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Second verse, same as the first
Jackie is a punk
Judy is a runt
They both went down to Berlin
Joined the Ice Capades
[Chorus]
And oh, I don't know why
Oh, I don't know why
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
[Verse 3]
Third verse, different from the first
Jackie is a punk
Judy is a runt
They both went down to Frisco
Joined the SLA
[Chorus]
And oh, I don't know why
Oh, I don't know why
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
