Lyrics Dion

2-3-4

I went the subway, to play my guitar
With the Chicago police, I didn't get very far
See, in my left pocket, I had a bag
And nobody liked it when I offered a drag

I said, come on boys, you know you all do it
But the look on their face said, man you just blew it
They took me to the station, took my photograph
And if you ever see it, I bet you'll laugh

They call me Dion 46501
Just the free-wheelin' life of a son of a gun
Come on now boys, I didn't hurt anyone
I singin' Dion 46501

Now back at the station, they gave me a cell
It was stinky, it was junky, it was ugly, it was cold as
Hello, neighbors, howdly-doo
Why does the city of Chicago have a beef with you?

One man said, I mugged an old lady
Another man said, I ain't killed nobody lately
Another man said, I'm the devil, and I'll steal your soul
I said, I'm a musician playin' rock and roll

Singin' Dion 46501
Just the free-wheelin' life of a son of a gun
Come on now boys, I didn't hurt noone
Singin' Dion 46501

Come on, Dion!

Yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah
Oh...

Late nights, early beers
I play, people cheer
I just do what I do
And I don't think that I'm a-botherin' you

Well they let me out, 'bout a quarter to four
They said, now keep this up Dion and we'll be seein' you some more
On the way home, I lost my way
The city was comin' on the break of day

All the people looked at me with a sneer
They said, what the hell is he doin' here?
I hopped a bus 'bout a quarter to five
And I said to myself, thank God I'm alive!

Singin' Dion 46501
Just the free-wheelin' life of a son of a gun
Come on now boys, I didn't hurt anyone
Singin' Dion 46501

Dion 46501
Dion 46501
Now, now boys, I just havin' fun
Now singin' Dion 46501
Oh, Dion 46501
