City Jail

City jail city jail like an old scared dog I tuck my tail

Bow my head and not a careless word is said

Gotta sleep on the floor once more at city jailWell I was hangin' round the bus station

Mindin' my own business like I always do

When I saw this waitress in this bus station cafe

And I thought I check out the action like I always do

I'd give her the bad eye and made a few choices personal comments

About what I thought mine and her possibilities could be for a team

When she called the badge on me

The badge grabbed me by the arm and he said

What are you doin' hangin' around here for

And I said for whatever's goin' around

City jail city jail...He said no what I mean is what are you doin'

Sayin' things like that to that lady

And I said what's that lady's doin' with purple hair

Well the badge said you're smart alec and I said no I ain't I'm just hungry

And he said you're actin' like a smart alec

And I said no that's how I act when I get hungry

City jail city jail...Well he put me outside in a dark corner

And before you could say hypocrite he hit me on the head

And I said oooh don't hit me on the head

I can't protect myself with the handcuffs on

Please don't hit me on the head then he hit me again he hit me again he hit me again

And I said oh oh oh oh oh please don't stand on my feet when you hit me

I break my ankles when I fallCity jail city jail...Well about that time they threw me in the wagon

And that waitress walked out with a sailor

I said hey you not you I'm talkin' to the purple people eater

Yes you lady quote you're the cause of it all unquote

Then she said to that sailor said get me away from that horrible man HarryCity jail city jail...

Well as they hauled me away I said everybody have a nice evening
