lyrics

Mr. Entertainer, 'round a quarter to nine, says,
"Do you fellas like music?
That's what I thought!
Listen, I want to share with you stories through my eyes
I am Uncle Ricky
I need to survive
I'll sing for you and you will pay me for the ill in the style
As you can see, I am the best dressed homeless man on Mass Avenue"

He sells his act well
Introduction is tight
$5 for his wallet
And he gives us his night
He calls it "Uncle Ricky's Special"
And goes on to say,
"Some bitches'll suck your dick for a hit,
But you betta not look away, betta not look away…"

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go, Ricky, Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go, Ricky, Go!

Here is Uncle Ricky
Come and give him his $5
He's got it, you know it
Must be that glimmer in his ice
He hurls two short raps accompanied by clap
One: Roxbury Crackheads

"If you got rock, bitches love cock
Pop-suck, Popsicle
Pop-suck, Popsicle
Pop-suck, Popsicle
Pop
Suckers."

Here is Uncle Ricky
Come and give him his $5
He's got it, you know it
Must be that glimmer in his ice
He hurls two short raps accompanied by clap
Two: Roxbury Clackheads

"If you got rock, haters love to
Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop suckers!"

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go, Ricky, Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go, Ricky, Go!

Mr. Entertainer, 'round a quarter to nine, says,
"Do you fellas like music?
That's what I thought!
Listen, I want to share with you stories through my eyes
I am Uncle Ricky
I need to survive
I'll sing for you and you will pay me for the ill in the style
As you can see, I am the best dressed homeless man on Mass Avenue"

"I am the best-dressed homeless man on Massachusetts Avenue!
I am the best-dressed homeless man on Massachusetts Avenue!
I am the best-dressed homeless man,
Am the best-dressed homeless man,
Am the best-dressed homeless man on Massachusetts Avenue!"

Go, Ricky-Ricky, Go, Go, Uncle Ricky!
Go, Ricky-Ricky, Go, Go, Uncle Ricky!
Go, Ricky-Ricky, Go, Go, Uncle Ricky!
Go home, Uncle Ricky, go home!

Uncle Ricky says,

"Watch
for the bitches that steal your eyes,
for the haters that take your life,
for the mother fucker in the sky
And, most of all, for the punk-ass police!"

"Watch
for the bitches that steal your eyes,
for the haters that take your life,
for the mother fucker in the sky
And, most of all, for the punk-ass police!"
