Royal Crown Revue - Friday the 13th lyrics
It was a fine left coast morning
 And I found myself planted outside
 The Cap 'N' Cork
 Tipping back the hops
 In order to calm my dancing hands
 You see I usually don't play
 The tied-up watchdog routine
 Looking up and down the street
 But this is the corner
 Joey A., my car and I
 Were supposed to meet 
 You see Joey The Amateur and I 
 Were out clinkin' glasses last night
 When I got three sheets to an ill wind
 Myself being in possession
 Of a fine Double 5 Lincoln convert
 Joey offered to skip me back to the crib
 I awoke to a barren driveway
 And a neighbor started to chide
 "Joey dumped you off,
 And he's got your ride!" 
 Black cats, they don't bother me
 I smile in bad company
 And I'm cool as the day is long
 But takin' my car, daddy
 That's dead wrong 
 It was now 11:22
 And up scuffles Benny The Shoe
 A real hot air merchant from way back
 I inquired about Joey A.
 And my superfine Lincoln
 Then Mr. B.S. beat his gums
 And testified to me,
 "Joe's washing the short,
 Changing da oilRoyal Crown Revue - Friday the 13th - http://motolyrics.com/royal-crown-revue/friday-the-13th-lyrics.html
 He'll be here by three." 
 So the little hand hits three
And who should appear
 But a Cuban cat named Geronimo
 An upstanding cat
 In the textile business 
 He said, "Joey knocked over a racketman
 And is laying low for a few,
 But in your trunk he left you some treasure
 A pint of rye and a case of Slim Jim's 
 For your masticating pleasure 
 Now ten p.m. finds me
 Hot as a hophead's zippo
 When Rosie appears
 On her financially motivated 
 Nightly exercise routine
 I asked the whereabouts
 Of the horsepower thief in question
 And she shot me that amphetamine stare
 And said, "Joey A.?
 I just got out of his Lincoln
 On Hollywood Way." 
 I thought
 "Kill Joey A.!" when the bar keep came out
 To simmer my slow boil
 He said, "Joey A. just called on the blower,
 He said you better skip town,
 'Cause the cops got your ride.
 You're wanted for solicitation,
 Possession -- you owe him one,
 And here's the scather." He said,
 "And another thing cat,
 Don't ask me for
 Goddamn favors!"
