Straight From The Hip Kid

Straight from the hip kid, ya

You've taken up in luck with

Love starved imitations

Hangin' out with crazies

Feedin' you a sweet talk

Sweet talk for a soft touch

You poor little rich kid



Yeah, straight from the hip kid

Ya can't afford to lip it

Broken out of pocket, ya

Got to get the deuce up

Sure it's home with mama

Ya know her love's a turn, yeah

Ain't life a bitch, kid?



So high a T society

So high brow but so low down

So low down, so

Straight from the hip kid

Straight from the hip kid, yeah



Straight from the hip kid

You're lyin' around in gutters

Hangin' in the riff-raff

They'll suck you six feet under

Bitin' at your death-wish

You're makin' with the devil

Oh, triple-six, kid



So high a T society

So high brow, so low down

So low down, so

Straight from the hip kid

They get ya

Straight from the hip kid, huh



Yeah, straight from the hip kid, ya

Split before you're busted

Watch it, don't get flustered

Goin' through the trouble

You're shootin' on a life raft

Right between some white trash

You poor little rich kid



So high a T society

So high brow but so low down

So low down, so

Straight from the hip kid

Take it from the hip, kid

Better not slip, kid

Oh, ain't life a bitch, kid



One, two, three



So high a T, so high a T

So high brow but so low down

So low down, so high brow

So high brow but so low down

Poor little rich kid

Oh, just a rich kid
