Johnny Ryall - Beastie Boys

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 the 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' on the street there ain't 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 he's always phoneless 
Sleepin' on the street in a cardboard box 
He's better off drinkin' than smokin' the rocks 
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 
Go upstate and 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 
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 Men's Shelter 
Wonder Bread bag shoes and singing Helter Skelter 
He asks for a dollar you know what it's for 
Bottle after bottle he'll always need more 
He's no less important than you working class stiffs 
Drinks a lot of liquor but he don't 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 
That's right y'all his name is 
Johnny 
Johnny Ryall, Johnny Ryall
