Danny Partridge Got Busted live by The Mr. T Experience Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1990

I just read the news in the paper yesterday
Danny Bonaduce just got busted in LA
He used to be ten years old, now he's twenty-five
Busted for narcotics, and he's facing ten to life

Danny Partridge busted
Happened just the other day
Danny Partridge busted
Now they're gonna lock him away

We'll never see his freckled face smiling anymore
Gonna put him in a cell, double lock the door
Shirley, Kеith, and Reuben, I wonder whеre you are
Next time you see Danny, he'll be safely behind bars

Danny Partridge busted
Happened just the other day
Danny Partridge busted
Now they're gonna lock him away

[Interlude]
(Jon Von)
C'mon everybody
Well now, let's play a game
I tell you, I can make a rhyme
Out of anybody's name
The first letter of the name
I treat it like it wasn't there
But a "B" or an "F"
Or an "M" will appear
Then I say, "Bo," and a "B," and I say the name
And, "Bo-na-na fanna" and "fo"
And I say the name again with an "F" this time
And a "fee fi" and "mo"
And I say the name again with an "M," third time
And there isn't any name that I can't rhyme

(Spoken)
JON VON: All right, Frank, are you ready to do the game?
DR. FRANK: Yeah
JON VON: Okay, let's do Shirley!

(Dr. Frank)
Shirley, Shirley, Bo-birley
Bo-na-na-fanna-fo-firley
Fe-fi-mo-mirley
Shirley
(Spoken)
JON VON: Okay, Frank, let's do Rubin!

(Dr. Frank)
Rubin, Rubin, Bo-bubin
Bo-na-na-fanna-fo-fubin
Fe-fi-mo-mubin
Rubin

(Spoken)
JON VON: Okay, here's the big one. Let's do Danny!

(Dr. Frank)
Danny, Danny, Bo-banny
Bo-na-na-fanna-fo-fanny
Fe-fi-mo-manny
Danny

[End Interlude]

Little Danny Partridge wasn't as innocent as he seemed
He finally found an outlet for his money-making schemes
I just can't believe it, 'cause it seems so strange to me
The kid that we grew up with is a pusher on the street

Danny Partridge busted
Happened just the other day
Danny Partridge busted
Now they're gonna lock him away
