53rd & 3rd Lyrics by Ramones

Anthology: Hey Ho Let’s Go

1976

[Verse: Joey Ramone]
If you think you can, well, come on man
I was a Green Beret in Vietnam
I said, no more of your fairy stories
'Cause I got my other worries

[Chorus: Joey Ramone]
53rd and 3rd, standing on the street
53rd and 3rd, I'm trying to turn a trick
53rd and 3rd, you're the one they never pick
53rd and 3rd, don't it make you feel sick?

[Verse: Joey Ramone]
If you think you can, well, come on man
I was a Green Beret in Vietnam
I said, no more of your fairy stories
'Cause I got my other worries

[Chorus: Joey Ramone]
53rd and 3rd, standing on the street
53rd and 3rd, I'm trying to turn a trick
53rd and 3rd, you're the one they never pick
53rd and 3rd, don't it make you feel sick?

[Bridge: Dee Dee Ramone]
Then I took out my razor blade
Then I did what God forbade
Now the cops are after me
But I proved that I'm no sissy

[Chorus: Joey Ramone]
53rd and 3rd, standing on the street
53rd and 3rd, I'm trying to turn a trick
53rd and 3rd, you're the one they never pick
53rd and 3rd, don't it make you feel sick?

[Outro: Joey Ramone]
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
