From the tugboat, on a river going slow A cement bag’s dropping down You know, that cement is for the weight, dear You can make a large bet that bums in town (Yeah he’s in town) My man Louie Miller he split the scene babe, After drawing' out all the bread from his stash Now Mac Heath spends like a sailor Do you suppose this guy he did something rash?
