Allentown Jail
They've locked up my darling in Allentown jail
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And no one has come forth to put up his bail
Ooh, ooh, ooh
They say at the courthouse, he'll never go free
Never go free
Cause he stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond
To give, to give to me
Somewhere in Allentown jail
My heart waits in Allentown jail
I'll dance for you mister, I'll sing you a song
La-da-da-da
But more than that mister would surely be wrong
Mm, mm, mm
Oh more than that mister would surely be wrong
For can't you see
My love stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond
To give, to give to me
Somewhere in Allentown jail
My heart waits in Allentown jail
You'll find, unlike him, though you searched the world round
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And that's why I need the best lawyer in town
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I must find a lawyer, the best one in town
For can't you see
My love stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond
To prove his love for me
Somewhere in Allentown jail
My heart waits in Allentown jail
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And no one has come forth to put up his bail
Ooh, ooh, ooh
They say at the courthouse, he'll never go free
Never go free
Cause he stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond
To give, to give to me
Somewhere in Allentown jail
My heart waits in Allentown jail
I'll dance for you mister, I'll sing you a song
La-da-da-da
But more than that mister would surely be wrong
Mm, mm, mm
Oh more than that mister would surely be wrong
For can't you see
My love stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond
To give, to give to me
Somewhere in Allentown jail
My heart waits in Allentown jail
You'll find, unlike him, though you searched the world round
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And that's why I need the best lawyer in town
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I must find a lawyer, the best one in town
For can't you see
My love stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond
To prove his love for me
Somewhere in Allentown jail
My heart waits in Allentown jail
