[00:09.63]Well, they closed down the auto plant in Mahwah late last month
[00:15.42]Ralph went out lookin’ for a job, but he couldn’t find none
[00:19.87]He came home too drunk from mixin’ Tanqueray and wine
[00:24.92]He got a gun, shot a night clerk, now they call him Johnny 99
[00:29.73]Down in the part of town where when you hit a red light, you don’t stop
[00:34.64]Johnny’s wavin’ his gun around and threatenin’ to blow his top
[00:40.13]When an off-duty cop snuck up on him from behind
[00:44.79]Out in front of the Club TipTop, they slapped the cuffs on Johnny 99
[00:49.49]Well, the city supplied a public defender, but the judge was Mean John Brown
[00:55.29]He came into the courtroom and stared poor Johnny down
[00:59.96]Well, the evidence is clear, he’s gonna let the sentence fit the crime
[01:04.96]Prison for 98 and a year, and we’ll call it Johnny 99

[01:29.63]Well, the city supplied a public defender, but the judge was Mean John Brown
[01:35.74]He came into the courtroom and stared poor Johnny down
[01:40.74]Well, the evidence is clear, he’s gonna let the sentence fit the crime
[01:45.52]Prison for 98 and a year, and we’ll call it even, Johnny 99
