This is real close to what's on the recording. I didn't try to reproduce the accent. That's up to you.

Down the road come Junko Podno
The boy was loaded, as can be.
Boy he was knock, knock , knocked out loaded.
You know he wobbled, all over the street.

Singing 'Six months ain't no sentence.
'Lord, and one year, ain't no time.
'They got boys, up on the Ponderosa,
'Doing life, and ninty-nine.'

If I had, if I had, if I had, a million dollars.
Just one million, for my own.
I would buy me a little bright red ribbon (?)
And I would roll me a big moogie bone.

Down the road, down the road, down the road
Yeah here he comes Mr Jones.
OOh boy, you on your back so hard.
Got to say 'Lordy lord.'
You say 'A penny make a nickle, 'n nickle make a dime
Dime 'll make a half and a half 'll make a dollar.
Make you high.

Well, give me whiskey, when I get a little frisky.
Cause it's my good drink, when I get a little dry.
Give me tobacco, when I get a little sickly
But give me heroine before I die.

Repeat first



I think Prof Longhair's version is similar. It wouldn't be surprising because the Professor supposedly taught the Doctor piano.
