Brian May - Tenement Funster lyrics

[Verse 1] My new purple shoes, have been amazing the people next door And my rock 'n roll 45's, have been enraging the folks on the lower floor I got a way with girls on my block Try my best be a real individual And when we go down to Smokies and rock They line up like it's some kind of ritual [Chorus] Oh give me a good guitar, and you can say that my hair's a disgrace Or, just give me an open car, I'll make the speed of light out to this place [Verse 2] I like the good things in life But most of the best things isn't free And this same situation, just cuts like a knife When you're young, and you're poor, and you're crazy [Chorus]
