[A]
Well, on the outskirts of town there's a little night spot.
Dan drops in about five o'clock.
[A] Pull off his coat and said [Em] the night is short.
He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quaff.
All the [A] grave own children on with him.
Grave own, can't she cry?
It's almost dawn and the cops are on the run.
Let's all get a dick surprise.
Well, Dan got happy and he started raving.
He jerked out his razor but he wouldn't shake.
And all the cats knew to jump and hop.
For he was born, Dan raised in a butcher shop.
He hollered, grave own children on with him.
Grave own, can't she cry?
It's almost [D] dawn and the cops are [E] on the run.
Let's all get a dick surprise.

[A]
Well, the cops heard Dan when he started to shout.
They all ran in to see what it was about.
I heard him holler when they let [Am] him away.
He turned his [Ab] head and this is what [Am] he had to say.
[A]
Grave own, children on with him.
Grave own, can't she cry?
It's almost [D] dawn and the cops are gone.
[B] Let's all get a dick [A] surprise.

[Eb] [Am] [A] Well, now Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw.
He let us all know he [E] wasn't scared of the law.
And [A] through the black crossbar he tossed a note to his dear.
He said it ain't [E] my fault, hon, that I'm [A] in here.
But holler, grave own, children on with him.
Grave own, can't she cry?
It's almost dawn and [G] the cops ain't gone.
And [E] I've [A] been dick surprised.
