Son of a New York Gun Lyrics

Jack my friend, he's a busy man
Trying to hustle an easy buck instead of a good man's dollar
Oh Jack my buddy he's so goddamn full of money
Workin' for a funny company for his father
He got a black satin shirt best you could buy
And a big fat straw hat to match his white tie
And a shiny thirty-eight that'll look you straight in your eye
Jack miraculous he was a' sure spectaculous
The son of a New York gun
Look out Jack ...
He got a black satin shirt best you could buy
And a big fat straw hat to match his white tie
And a big twenty-two that'll make you do what he want
Jack miraculous he was a' sure spectaculous
The son of a New York gun
Look out Jack ... Jack miraculous
The son of a New York gun
Look out Jack

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
