You got fakes and losers, cops and boozers Pushers on the run Pimps and junkies, kids with monkies And lots of dirty fun Days are hazy, nights are crazy Hustles never end There's lots of folks with lots of jokes But try to find a friend You want advice about paradise Then let me introduce The cast and crew that waits for you On the street they call The Deuce Check it out! In this world I know a girl Who looks as sweet as spice And when it's late, you can have a date But you'll have to pay the price I know a bigtime gambler, a heavy scrumbler Never bet less than a G He's got a lot of breed, but hear what I said It all came from you and me There's a kid crusader playin' space invader Down in the old arcade Don't go to school, he's much too cool Though he's kind of underpaid The guys in suits and the girls in boots Got a lot of lies to tell They don't fear the Lord, they get no reward And they spend their time in Hell Check it out! Everyday the politicians say They're gonna tear the whole thing down But wait a couple years and check your eyes and ears The Deuce will still be around Joints and bags and tips on nags Are easy things to find They tip the scales with fairy-tales And slowly blow your mind If you desire to feel the fire That's burnin' on the block Then take a trip down to the strip But be prepared for shock 'Cause if you're shakey or even flakey Hear me when I say When you're on The Deuce, you got to be loose Or you might be get blown away
