In this town  
We’ve got a saying  
Best not to go out walking alone  
And as an act of self-preservation  
You just might want to take a friend  
There’s a dark side of the street  
Where I don’t dare go  
And if you ask me  
You’ll find  
I don’t want to know  
Oh  
And how do you do?  
And how do you do?  
You go in and they’ll drag you out  
And everyone will hear you shouting  
While they measure you for a shroud  
It’s better if you just take a friend  
Some people say it’s a little old-fashioned  
Don’t they have anything better to do?  
Oh  
But what if it’s true?  
And what if it’s true?  
There’s a fellow I used to know  
He was born and raised in San Anton'  
He got a little bit bold  
He’s better off taking a friend  
He used to say it was a little old-fashioned  
Didn’t they have anything better to do?  
Oh  
But what if it’s true?  
And what if it’s true?
