Don't go to bed with no price on your head
Don't do it
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time

Keep your eye on the sparrow
When the going gets narrow

Don't roll the dice if you can't pay the price
Don't do it
Don't run your feet down a dead-end street

Keep your eye on the sparrow
When the going gets narrow

Don't do me dirt or you're gonna get hurt
Don't do it
Don't run away till you hear what I say

Keep your eye on the sparrow
When the going gets narrow

Ain't gonna fight with no thief in the night
Won't do it
I'm gonna go where the cold wind don't blow

Keep your eye on the sparrow
When the going gets narrow
