[Intro]
(Hey, hey, hey, yeah)
(Hey, hey, hey)

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
License plates 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
[Chorus]
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
Public animal number nine

[Outro]
Ow, public animal number nine
Public animal number nine
Public animal number nine, nine
Public animal number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine
Animal number nine
Public animal number nine, nine
Public animal number nine
Public animal number nine
Public animal number nine, nine
Public animal number nine, nine
Public animal number, number nine, nine
Public animal nine
