Don't go to bed with no price on your head,

Don't do it.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

(Chorus)

Keep your eye on the sparrow,

When the going gets narrow.

Don't roll the dice if you can't pay the price,

Don't do it.

Don't run your feet down a dead-end street.

(repeat Chorus)

Don't do me dirt or you're gonna get hurt

Don't do it.

Don't run away till you hear what I say.

(repeat Chorus)

Ain't gonna fight with no thief in the night

Won't do it.

I'm gonna go where the cold wind don't blow.

(repeat Chorus)
