Hey hey hey yeah hey hey hey

Me and G.B. we aint never gonna confess
We cheated at the math test
We carved some dirty words in our desk
Well now its 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

Hey Mr. Bluelegs where are you takin me
Im like a lifer in the state penitentiary
If I keep my nose clean I wont get my eyes shined
But Im proud to be public animal number nine

License plates are are runnin out of my ears
Id give a month of cigarettes for just a couple of lousy beers
Or even a bottle of real cheap wine
But thats the price you pay to be
Public animal number nine number nine oh

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 Im proud to be oh public animal number nine

Oh public animal number nine public animal number nine
Public animal number nine nine
Public animal number nine number nine number nine
Public animal public animal number nine nine
Public animal number nine public animal number nine
