There's No Night Out in the Jail |
| Chorus: |
| Well you dream of blondes and you dream of beer |
| And life gets terribly stale |
| It’s dead in the morgue but it’s deader in here |
| There’s no night out in the jail |
| The fellas I knew must all miss me now |
| I guess I better come clean |
| I’m sweating it out in the boot me boys |
| An un-paying guest of the queen |
| Well this prison life sure suits me fine |
| I lead a decent life |
| At last my days are organized |
| Outside it’s nothing but strife |
| Chorus |
| Me cobbers inside are just normal blokes |
| Who lead rather colorful lives |
| Like breaking and entering and stealing cars |
| And just not supporting their wives |
| Well some blokes just like collecting things |
| And some like guzzling beer |
| Well some blokes just can’t resist a fight |
| And some keep getting ideas |
| Chorus |
| I’m working the farm it’s a healthy life |
| I jump outta bed with a spring |
| The tukka’s not bad I get lots of sleep |
| So who’d wanna change with the king? |
| No unemployment scares me now |
| And even when I am tired |
| I know I’m on a cushy job |
| For sure I can never be fired |
| Chorus |
| Me creditors just don’t annoy me now |
| Me wife has to get off my back |
| Me mother-in-law had to drown herself |
| Who said the outlook is black? |
| Nothing now can worry me Behind these prison walls |
| Just like a bull of pedigree |
| I’m locked up at night in the stalls |
| Chorus |
