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 
He's even more over than my mayor Ed Koch 
 
Washing windows on the Bowery at a quarter to four 
'Cause he ain't gonna work on Maggie's Farm no more 
Living on borrowed time and borrowed money 
Sleepin' in the street there ain't a damn thing funny 
 
With the 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, man that kid's always phoneless 
Sleepin' on the street in a cardboard box 
Better off drinkin' than smokin' the rocks 
 
Johnny Ryall, Johnny Ryall 
(Kickin' uptown, kickin' downtown, kickin' crosstown) 
Johnny Ryall, Johnny Ryall 
 
He drinks where he lies, he's covered with flies 
He's got the hand me down Pumas and the tie dyes 
Well, you go upstate you get your head together 
Thunderbird is the word and you're light as a feather 
 
Detox at the flop house, no booze allowed 
Remember the good old days with the rockabilly crowd 
Memphis is where he's from 
He lives in the street but he's no bum 
 
He's a rockabilly star from the days of old 
He used to have teeth all filled with gold 
He got 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 
(Drinking Night Train, drinkin' OE) 
Johnny Ryall, Johnny Ryall 
 
Donald Trump and Donald Tramp living in the Men's Shelter 
Wonder Bread bag shoes, and singing Helter Skelter 
He asks for a dollar, you know what it's for 
Man, bottle after bottle, he always needs more 
 
He's no less important than you working class stiffs 
He drinks a lot of liquor but he don't drink piss 
He paid his dues, playing the blues 
He claims that he wrote the Blue Suede Shoes 
 
Elvis shaved his head when he went to the army 
That's right y'all his name is Johnny 
(Kick it) 
 
Johnny Ryall, Johnny Ryall
