Summer of '43 The man's gunnin' for me Blue and white mean war tonight Say damn my pride And all the other cats livin' down eastside Or maybe just my brim's too wide
Ooh, Marie You better grab my Jack and zip gun for me And I'll face no shame 'Cause tonight's the night I die for our name
Well, I'd like to be swingin' Dancin' and swingin' Just havin' a time Free to do whatever Now more than ever I've gotta stick with that gang of mine
