Well they closed down the auto plant in Mahwah late last monthRalph went out lookin' for a job but he couldn't find noneHe came home too drunk from mixin' Tanqueray and wineHe got a gun shot a night clerk now they call him Johnny 99Dawn in that part of town where when you hit red light you don't stopJohnny's wavin' his gun around and threatin' to blow his topWhen an off duty cop snuck up on him on from behindOut in front of the club Tip Top they slapped the cuffs on Johnny 99Well the city suplied a public defender but the judge was mean John BrownHe came into the courtroom and stared poor Johnny downWell the evidence is clear gonna let the sentence fit the crimePrison for 98 and a year will make it even Johnny 99A fist fight broke out in the courtroom they had to drag Johnny's girl awayHis mama stood up and shouted judge don't take my boy this wayWell son you got any statement you'd like to makeBefore the bailiff comes to forever take you awayYes judge I got debts no honest man could payThe bank was holdin' my mortgage they was takin' my house awayNow I ain't sayin' that makes me an innocent manBut it was more than all this that put that gun in my handAnd your honor I do believe I'd be better off deadIf you can take a man's life for the thoughts that are in his headThen won't you sit back in that chair and think it over one more timeAnd let 'em shave off my hair and burn Johnny 99
