Johnny Ryall is the bum on my stoop I gave him fifty cents to buy some soup He knows the time with the fresh Gucci watch Hes even more over than the mayor Ed Koch Washing windows on the Bowery at a quarter to four Cause he aint gonna work on Maggies farm no more Living on borrowed time and borrowed money Sleepin on the street there aint a damn thing funny Hand me down food and hand me down clothes A rockabilly past of which nobody knows Makes his home all over the place He goes to sleep by falling down on his face Sometimes known as the leader of the homeless Sometimes drunk and hes always phoneless Sleepin on the street in a cardboard box Hes better off drinkin than smokin the rocks Johnny Ryall, Johnny Ryall He drinks where he lies Hes covered with flies Hes got the hand me down Pumas and the tie dyes Go upstate and get your head together Thunderbird is the word and youre light as a feather Detox at the flop house no booze allowed Remember the good old days with the rockabilly crowd Memphis is where hes from He lives in the street but hes no bum A rockabilly star from the days of old He used to have teeth all filled with gold A platinum voice but only gold records On the bass was boots on the drums was checkers Luis Vuitton with the Gucci guitar Johnny Ryall Who do you think you are Johnny Ryall, Johnny Ryall Donald Trump Donald Tramp living in the Mens Shelter Wonder Bread bag shoes and singing Helter Skelter He asks for a dollar you know what its for Bottle after bottle hell always need more Hes no less important than you working class stiffs Drinks a lot of liquor but he dont drink piss Paid his dues playing the blues He claims that he wrote the Blue Suede Shoes Elvis shaved his head when he went into the army Thats right yall his name is Johnny Johnny Ryall, Johnny Ryall
