I know a barber shop
It's a way cross town

It's the only place on a Saturday night
That us gamblers gets to meet
Some comes for a haircut
And others come for a scrap
And when you see me and my buddies up there, man
We means to shoot some crap

If you don't seven, eleven them
You're done, done, done";

Since I got mine
Well, I went down to my best girl's house
