Gimme the Goods

Throw that bundle out before they get here
 Let some shark drag the thing away
 I can see the headlights drawing very near
 Let me do the talking now just in case fix you face
 We can make the border by tomorrow
 If your brilliant young Madonna doesn't do us in
 We should have given her the shot that you took
 And put her away
 Gimme the goods and half of the action
 You get the dame and get away
 For me it's too late
 But you can go straight back to the East Bay
 Outta here
 Oakland California 1948
 Stella promised Blackie she was going straight
 Now Blackie my main man he takes the major leagues
 He could sell Geronimo a string of beads
 But Stella could sell Blackie almost anything
 He's lucky she ain't yet sold him up the stream
 Just one more job could put us back on Easy Street
 C'mon baby
 Gimme the goods and half of the action
 You get the dame and get away
 For me it's too late
 But you can go straight back to the East Bay
 Outta here
 I said Blackie you can't listen to the dame
 She's gone back on her promise now it's a losing game
 But we pulled off the job anyway
 And she cursed the day we met
 And Blackie took a slug or two he won't forget
 By now the curbs were shining with the falling rain
 And I kept dousing Blackie just to keep him sane
 I'm wondering if it's over now or just my fevered brain
 Gimme the goods and half of the action
 You get the dame and get away
 For me it's too late
 But you can go straight back to the East Bay
 Outta here
 Gimme the goods and half of the action
 You get the dame and get away
 For me it's too late
 But you can go straight back to the East Bay
 Outta here
 Gimme the goods and half of the action
 You get the dame and get away
 For me it's too late
 But you can go straight back to the East Bay
 Outta here
 Gimme the goods and half of the action
 You get the dame and get away
 For me it's too late
 But you can go straight back to the East Bay
 Outta here
