As Tootie walked along side of me
She walked head first into a tree
As she tottered on by
She let out a sigh
and I giggled-then thought I’d best flee!
I stopped at the garage today,
I stopped at the garage today
Then drove off, refusing to pay
I stopped at the garage today
Then drove off, refusing to pay
Then fate took a hand
I stopped at the garage today
Then drove off, refusing to pay
Then fate took a hand
As I drove over sand
stopped at the garage today
Then drove off, refusing to pay
Then fate took a hand
As I drove over sand
and crashed caused by a ricochet.
Along came the boys in blue
Along came the boys in blue
Me in the Black Maria they threw
Along came the boys in blue
Me in the Black Maria they threw
They 'cuffed me as well
Along came the boys in blue
Me in the Black Maria they threw
They 'cuffed me as well
Threw me into a cell
Along came the boys in blue
Me in the Black Maria they threw
They 'cuffed me as well
Threw me into a cell
Now I wait and see what will ensue
The judge said now what have we here
The judge said now what have we here

The judge said now what have we here
It’s the fourth time i’ve seen you this year!
That is three times too many
The judge said now what have we here
It’s the fourth time i’ve seen you this year!
That is three times too many
I fine you one penny
The judge said now what have we here
It’s the fourth time i’ve seen you this year!
That is three times too many
I fine you one penny
And don’t spend it all on beer. 
So I paid the fine and hung my head
So I paid the fine and hung my head
“You won’t see me here again”, I said
So I paid the fine and hung my head
" You won’t see me here again!" I said
But three weeks later and what do you think?
So I paid the fine and hung my head
" You won’t see me here again!" I said
But three weeks later and what do you think?
Trouble came, and I was thrown in the clink
So I paid the fine and hung my head

But three weeks later and what do you think?
Trouble came, and I was thrown in the clink
Now I’m living on water and bread
Should have got ten years hard for the crime
Should have got ten years hard for the crime
I’m sure that will happen next time
Should have got ten years hard for the crime
I’m sure that will happen next time
But I’ll try to be good

I’m sure that will happen next time
But I’ll try to be good
Stay away from boys in the 'hood
