There’s a man who sits on the side of the road
Why he does it, nobody knows.
And he flashes his own gang signs for everyone to see.
So take a cruise down the Cuthbert to see Barkley with me.
Barkley, do you remember be?
I’m driving by for the tenth time today.
Barkley, please don’t ever, ever leave.
We’d do anything to make you stay.
He’s a kind gentle man but he thinks he’s thirteen
Takes his shirt off to dance and his sweatpants are green
Headphones always on as he throws the punches in the air
If you drive by and honk you’ll get that crazy Barkley stare.
Barkley, do you remember be?
I’m driving by for the tenth time today.
Barkley, please don’t ever, ever leave.
We’d do anything to make you stay.
Remember the times when you went to the little girl’s b-ball games?
The people just laughed at ‘ya, aw Barkley, it was a shame
But you stood up, threw a snake sign and jumped all around
Where’s your crown Barkley ‘cause you’re the king of this town.
Barkley, do you remember be?
I’m driving by for the tenth time today.
Barkley, please don’t ever, ever leave.
We’d do anything to make you stay.
