John Brown's dancing with a cowbell in his hand
Holding court on the sidewalk waiting for the band to jam
Street-stained junkie jacket
Faded shots of Shorthair's band
He yells "police" to the mangy dog he calls triggerman
Gimme a dollar
Gimme a beer
Wanna show you something papa come over here
Everybody knows him 'cause he just keeps hanging 'round
Everybody and their grandma knows John Brown
Johnny's high and tight
Tweaked out to the beat
Laughing at the ladies
It ain't nothing sweet
He says whatcha doin baby
What's goin on with you
Ducks down through the alley
Round the corner
Back by two
He's getting a dollar
Getting a beer
Wanna show you something papa come over here
Everybody knows him 'cause he just keeps hanging 'round
Everybody and their grandma knows John Brown
When you're feeling low
He'll take away the pain
He'll smile at you and it feels like
An umbrella in the rain
A saint with a crooked halo
A prince without a throne
A fictitious head of state
Of the sidewalk he calls home
Gimme a dollar
Gimme a beer
Wanna show you something papa come over here
Everybody loves him I'm so glad that he's around
Everybody and their grandma knows John Brown

John Brown's dancing with a cowbell in his hand
Holding court on the sidewalk waiting for the band to jam
Street-stained junkie jacket
Faded shots of Shorthair's band
He yells "police" to the mangy dog he calls triggerman
Gimme a dollar
Gimme a beer
Wanna show you something papa come over here
Everybody knows him 'cause he just keeps hanging 'round
Everybody and their grandma knows John Brown
Johnny's high and tight
Tweaked out to the beat
Laughing at the ladies
It ain't nothing sweet
He says whatcha doin baby
What's goin on with you
