[Intro: Walter Crunkite]
You know, they're quite contradictory stories about your childhood There's this kind of general version of the near slum conditions in-
And then there was an article some years ago
By a very good magazine writer
Who said that this isn't so
That you're family was not necessarily destitute

[Verse 1: Frank Sinatra]
He is partially right about my general upbringing
We- I never wanted for anything
But did we did not have an abundance of anything

[Verse 2: Frank Sinatra]
It was a semi-slum area
Uh- it was typical of the middle 20's and the late 20's and through the depression
And it was pretty rough but they-
I've read and been told or rather asked questions concerning gang wars and so on so forth-
Well there weren't gang wars
But there were beefs, there were battles about-
About uh- positions and who should cross the line into where we lived
And across the line of where they lived, you see
And I must say that many times when I had to go on an errand and I skirted certain areas of the town
You know, because the- the cry went up killed the when he comes to the- to the corner in town

[Outro: Frank Sinatra]
What I do of my life is of my own doing
I live it the best way I can
I've been criticized for many many occasions
Uh- because of acquaintances and what have you
But I don't do these things for how to have anybody follow me in doing the same thing is what I mean
