Hey hey hey yeah hey hey hey...

Me and g.b. we ain't never gonna confess we cheated at the math test

We carved some dirty words in our desk well now it's time for recess

Old man waitin' by the monkey bars tradin' all his ball cards

And they promised him a gold star and they told him he could go far

Hey mr. bluelegs where are you takin' me

I'm like a lifer in the state penitentiary

If I keep my nose clean I won't get my eyes shined

But I'm proud to be public animal number nine

License plates are are runnin' out of my ears

I'd give a month of cigarettes for just a couple of lousy beers

Or even a bottle of real cheap wine

But that's the price you pay to be

Public animal number nine number nine oh

Hey mrs. cranston where are you takin' me

I feel like a lifer in the state penitentiary

She wanted an einstein but she got a frankenstein

Yeah I'm proud to be oh public animal number nine

Oh public animal number nine public animal number nine

Public animal number nine nine

Public animal number nine number nine number nine

Public animal public animal number nine nine

Public animal number nine public animal number nine.
