[Verse 1]
Teenage Mary said to Uncle Dave
I sold my soul, must be saved
Gonna take a walk down to Union Square
You never know who you're gonna find there
[Chorus 1]
You gotta run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy d**h and you
Tell you whatcha do
[Verse 2]
Marguerita Pa**ion had to get her fix
She wasn't well, she was getting sick
Went to sell her soul, she wasn't high
Didn't know, thinks she could buy it
[Chorus 2]
And she would run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy d**h and you
Tell you whatcha do
[Verse 3]
Seasick Sarah had a golden nose
Hobnail boots wrapped around her toes
When she turned blue, all the angels screamed
They didn't know, they couldn't make the scene
[Chorus 3]
She had to run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy d**h and you
Tell you whatcha do
[Verse 4]
Beardless Harry, what a waste
Couldn't even get a small-town taste
Rode the trolleys down to forty-seven
Figured he was good to get himself to heaven
[Chorus 4]
Because he had to run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy d**h and you
Tell you whatcha do
