Frankie Teardrop
The detective
Lived on the Bowery
Blowin’ out his brain
A man came over
And looked at Frankie
He said “I’ll give you ten grand
To kill a man”

Frankie said “Go away, man
I’m trynna forget Vietnam
I killed a hundred people
Now go away”
Frankie Teardrop
Oh Frankie Teardrop

His old lady came on over
She said “Take the job, Frankie
You’ll be a rich man”
Frankie said “Go away”
Oh Frankie Teardrop

‘Cause he needs the money
He’s gonna kill that man
For the C.I.A
He’s gonna kill the spaceman
He’s gonna kill the spaceman

Frankie went to the race track
He saw the spaceman at the $10 window
Frankie pointed his gun
Shot the spaceman
Spaceman turned around
“Are you kiddin’?
You ain’t gonna kill me with that thing, buddy
Just look at my eyes”
