You’re my hoyti-toyti woman, but you’re really nice and easy
You’re my hoyti-toyti woman, but you’re summer sweet and breezy
You’re my hoyti-toyti woman, I know you’ll come and see me
When they throw me in the jailhouse of love, yeah
When they throw me in the jailhouse of love
I met you at the rainbow’s end and stole a load o’ gold
I put some in my pocket, but I dropped some on the floor
They trailed me and they nailed me walkin’ through your door
Now I’ll be goin’ to the jailhouse of love, yeah!
Oh, I’ll be goin’ to the jailhouse of love
You’re my hoyti-toyti woman, you’ve been that way for ages
You’re my hoyti-toyti woman, you freed me from cages
The jury sends the verdict as the courthouse rants and raves
The judge says, "guilty" as he beats his gavel down
He says, " you love her, more than the law allows", boy say it!
"Son, you love her, more than the law allows"
Now you’re my hoyti-toyti woman, please draw my bail
You’re my hoyti-toyti woman, come and get me out of jail
But as soon as I get free my parole is gonna fail
And what will be my crime, oh, when they send me up next time?
For lovin’ you, more than the law allows, yeah yeah yeah
‘Cause I love you, more than the law allows, yeah yeah
No oh, oh no, now
You’re my hoyti-toyti woman, but you’rer eally nice and easy
You’re my hoyti-toyti woman, but you’re summer sweet and breezy
You’re my hoyti-toyti woman, and I know you’ll come and see me
And it’s bread and beans for me, they gonna lock me up and throw away the key
‘Cause I love you, more than the law allows
More than the law allows, the law allows
They gonna throw me, throw me in the jailhouse of love, oh yeah baby
In the jailhouse of love
