battlin' brannigan's back in town - al duvall lyrics

they’re singing in sing sing, calling from the coops
climbing the chicken*wire flophouse roofs
“hey boys! what’s the noise?
battlin’ brannigan’s back in town!”
he’s seven*foot*seven with his head held down
barbed*wire knuckles and a cast*iron frown
“hey boys! what’s the noise?
battlin’ brannigan’s back in town!”

he robbed and stole his way across the land
sold human hearts from off a roadside stand
and taken scalps along the rio grande
now he’s come home to lend the gang a hand

so chinatown charlie, bowery bob
drop your shovels and join the mob
“hey boys! what’s thе noise?
battlin’ brannigan’s back in town!”

he cracks his bat on the old top hat
makеs upright citizens lie down flat
“hey boys! what’s the noise?
battlin’ brannigan’s back in town!”
he takes the law in his hands to choke
and grinds their bones to make his coke
“hey boys! what’s the noise?
battlin’ brannigan’s back in town!”
the streets were taken from us by the cops
then cleaners marching with their brooms and mops
then dandies prancing out of fancy shops
and baby sailors with their lollipops

but sure as the vulture follows the stork
the tables will turn on old new york
“hey boys! what’s the noise?
battlin’ brannigan’s back in town!
hey boys! what’s the noise?
battlin’ brannigan’s back in town!”
