Goodbye Frankie - I only know some words

Postby CurtisC » Mon Aug 28, 2006 5:00 pm

Does anyone know about a song called Goodbye Franky?
This used to play on KROQ in the 81/82 time frame:

"Franky was a mugger, the king of burton park
in his brown suede sneakers, he could run fast in the dark
Big Moe stepped on his toes so, to get Moe of his back
He played hooky to play chicken, down at the railroad tracks,

Goodbye frankie, Franky's about to die
Goodby frankie, I'll see you on the other side"

Franky and Moe Rode their scooters to the corner of Candly and rue,
they waited at the edge of the tunnel for the 309 to come through,
frankie smiled and spit on the ground, the 309 was on time,
he knew Mo would never have the guts to be the last one over that line,

Goodbye frankie, Franky's about to die
Goodby frankie, I'll see you on the other side"
