lyrics
I am going to jail, jail, jail,
I am going to jail,
To get a new pair of shoes.
Guards will light my smokes for me,
smokes for me, smokes for me,
Guards will light my smokes for me,
When I go in jail.
I will get three meals a day,
meals a day, meals day,
I will get three meals a day,
When I go in there.
I will make some new friends,
new friends, new friends,
And some won’t like me very much.
I am going to jail, jail, jail,
I am going to jail,
To get a new pair of shoes
I am going to jail,
To get a new pair of shoes.
Guards will light my smokes for me,
smokes for me, smokes for me,
Guards will light my smokes for me,
When I go in jail.
I will get three meals a day,
meals a day, meals day,
I will get three meals a day,
When I go in there.
I will make some new friends,
new friends, new friends,
And some won’t like me very much.
I am going to jail, jail, jail,
I am going to jail,
To get a new pair of shoes

Having built a cult following with his weirdly compelling stage presence, G.B. has a strange ability to create fun chaos. ... more
