They’re Gonna Get You

There's a house on the street where I live, yeah
The people there advertise what they give you
I'm not gonna hang around
Oh, I'm gonna keep off that awful ground, ah ha ha ha ha ha

There's a place in the town
Where the people put you down
They won't let you away
They're gonna get you someday
They're gonna get you someday

Mother used to say to me
"It's not a very, very nice place to be"
Don't tag around, don't bring disgrace
Oh, keep away from that awful place
You gotta keep away from that place

People there like to cut you down
Oh yeah, they take your money but they don't like you
Hangin' around
Hangin' around

People won't know where you been
They won't know you, you look so clean
Oh, walk on by, don't you dare stop
Oh, please keep away from that barber shop

There's a place in the town
Where the people put you down
They won't let you away
They're gonna get you someday
They're gonna get you someday
