No one wants to be
By the streets of Shady Lane
Without a ticket in their hand
Or a pistol in their pants
No one wants to be
By the creeps all sneaking 'round
Ready to bring you down

No one wants to walk
Alone on Shady Road
Without a pocket knife
Underneath their coat
No one wants to be
By the freaks all sneaking 'round
Ready to knock you out

No one wants to go
On down to Shady Side
Unless they've lost their mind
Or just looking for a fight
No one wants to be
By the creeps all sneaking 'round
Ready to bring you down

Ready to bring you down
Ready to bring you down
