  Tweeter and the monkey man were hard up for cash

To an undercover cop who had a sister named jan

They knew that they found freedom just across the jersey line
     Chord diagramFF                          Chord diagramA minorAm
So they hopped into a stolen car took highway 99

Jan got married at fourteen to a rackateer named bill

The undercover cop pulled up and said everyone of yous a liar
