(KIDS VOICES)

 Uncle Whitey, Uncle Whitey, can you tell us a bedtime story?

 Yeah, we want some bedtimes stories...(Please!)

 

 Once upon a time not long ago, when people wore pajamas and lived life slow

 When laws were stern and justice stood, and people were behavin' like they our
too good

 There was a little boy who was misled by another lil' boy and this is what he
said

 "Me and you, Guy, we gonna make sum cash, robbin' old folks and makin' the
dash"

 They did the job, money came with ease, but one couldn't stop, it's like he
had a disease

 He robbed another and another and a sister and her brother

 Tried to rob a man who was a D.T. undercover, the cop grabbed his arm, he
started acting erratic,

 He said, "keep still, boy, no need for static", punched him in his belly and
he gave him a slap

 But little did he know the lil' boy was strapped, the kid pulled out a gun

 He said, "why'd you hit me?", the barrel was set straight for the cop's
kidney

 The cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure, "I'll do years if I pull
this trigger"

 So he cold dashed and ran around the block, cop radios in to another lady
cop

 He ran by a tree, there he saw this sister, a shot for the head, he shot back
but he missed her

 Looked around good and from expectations, so he decided he'd head for the
subway stations

 But she was coming so he made a left, he was runnin' top speed till he was
outta breath

 Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him, then he made his move to an
abandoned building

 Ran up the stairs up to the top floor, opened up the door there, guess who he
saw

 Dave the dope fiend shootin' dope, who don't know the meaning of water nor
soap,

 He said, "I need bullets, hurry up, run", the dope fiend brought back a
spanking shotgun

 He went outside but there was cops all over, then he dipped into a car, was a
stolen Nova

 Raced up the block doing 83, crashed into a tree near university,

 Escaped alive though the car was battered, rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops
scattered

 Ran out of bullets but still had static, grabbed a pregnant lady and out the
automatic

 Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full of lead

 He told the cops, "back off or honey here's dead", deep in his heart he knew
he was wrong

 so he let the lady go and he starts to move on, sirens sounded, he seemed
astounded

 Before long the lil' boy got surrounded, he dropped the gun, so went the
glory

 And this is the way I must end this story, he was only nineteen, in a madman's
dream

 I saw the cops shoot the kid, I still hear him scream, this ain't funny so
don't you dare laugh

 Just another case 'bout the wrong path, straight and narrow or your soul gets
cashed

 G'night
