Jails Parody

Send the convicts to the jails - Local jails! - What a world of confinement as their court case fails Hear the jingle, jingle, jingle Of the handcuffs as they walk Now with men they only mingle They may as well be single Doing time, time, time, For a thoughtless bungled crime As their ratting, pigeon, stoolie partners send them with their tales To the jails, jails, jails, jails, Jails, jails, jails - To the friendly and the cleanly local jails Send the felons to the jails - Fed'ral jails! What a world of isolation as the judge prevails! Hear the hammer, hammer, hammer, In the dead and dark of night As they're locked into the slammer! All the other inmates clamor To the jailers delight Doing time, time, time, For a botched "ruinic" crime Which not admitted but committed and their last appeal fails While in jails, jails, jails, jails, jails, jails, jails - While in insufficient and deficient jails
