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 jail

Well 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

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 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

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 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 oh 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 fall

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 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 Harry

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 jail

Well as they hauled me away

I said everybody have a nice evening
