[Verse 1]
[Em]There's a neighbourhood

[Em]Jerico, Jerico, Jerico, Jerico
When I was a boy growin' up in Fresno
The place that I called home
was Jerico
[A]My mama cooked with kerosene when
[D]she set [A]the table[D][A][G]
[Em]The babies drank bathed- in water,

Runnin' with my friends,
beggin' and stealin'
We'd [A]hang out by the honky-

if you're Jerico (Jerico)
They are livin' in a hole down
in Jerico (Jerico)
Killin' in the valley down
in Jerico (Jerico)
All the pigs they're stickin'
down in Jerico (Jerico)
And all the rootin',
pickin' down in Jerico (Jerico)
And your mama and your papa down
in Jerico (Jerico)
And you're here understandin'
Jerico (Jerico)

[Verse 6]
[Em]Hippin' and stickin' down in Jerico
(Jerico)
An' cookin' and a- kickin' down
in Jerico (Jerico)
Cookin' in a chippy down
in Jerico (Jerico)
When it was polk and wheat
down in Jerico (Jerico)
And all the folk visit the Pen down
in Jerico (Jerico)
It was funky as a doggie
down in Jerico (Jerico)
