Positively 4th St., Long Branch, NJ

You got a lotta nerve to pull me off the street
just because I'm smelly and unshaven.

You got a lotta nerve to ask for bonifides
from an culture hero, poet, proto- maven.

You say you've had some complaints from people in the 'hood.
I guess my “Q” is low among Hispanics.

Architectural walk on a Jersey afternoon.
Who called out the gendarmes? Why the panics?

Do you take me for such a dope, I'd go round with my swag?
Wherever I go folks are shoving things at me.

Can we swing by, see Willie and them, and tell 'em I'll be late?
Say I got busted for saunterin' or what it is exactly?
