Born in Red House Brooklyn
In the year of who knows when
Opened up his eyes

To accordion

Joey Joey Joey

King of the streets
Joey Joey Joey
Can't get no relief


Larry was the oldest
Joey was next

They tried to get Larry
Joey got so upset


Joey Joey Joey
King of the streets
Joey Joey Joey

Can't get no relief

They tried, to tell him

He was doing wrong
Dealing with some colored's
Boy you're doing so wrong


Joey Joey Joey
King of the streets

Joey Joey Joey
Can't get no relief


Joey Joey Joey
What'd you do?
You got it Umberto's poor you

Bullets still in the door
Where they got you got you more
Blood in the streets

Now there's no relief for Joey

Joey Joey Joey

King of the streets
Joey Joey Joey
