lyrics

Frankie and Ronnie

In a welfare hotel and up three floors
lived a man with a thing for little whores
So big and fat couldn’t get out of bed
visions of sugarplums dance in his head

On the wet pavement a white limousine
out steps a girl swears she’s seventeen
Ronnie on the stoop sucking down a beer
she yells up “Frankie your baby’s here.”

Chorus:
Frankie oh Frankie
Ronnie oh Ronnie
Ronnie won’t you let that sweet thing in.
Won’t you let her on in.

Come on baby won’t you shake that thing
though papa can’t buy you a diamond ring
I’ll give you some smoke, money and a kiss.
“Only my daddy would touch me like this.”

Chorus:

Frankie died of a heart attack
some people say from smokin crack
But I saw him in bed, something on his shirt
and I knew he died for a little skirt.

Chorus:
