In the Graveyard Now
I remember last election
Jim Jones got election
he said he's voting for the man that pays the biggest price
and the next day after poll, he voted with heart and soul
but instead of voting once he voted twice, uh-oh
He's in that jailhouse now
He's in that jailhouse now
instead of staying at home and leaving the rich folks business alone
He's in that jailhouse now
You remember Henry Cruise, he sold that no good booze
sold it down to the police on the beat
and now Henry's feeling funny cause the police gives him mob money
he's got a ball and chain around his feet
Mmmm, He's in that jailhouse now (Yepp)
He's in that jailhouse now
Judge gave him ten years
Now Henry's shedding tears, bu-hu hu hu
He's in that jailhouse now (Yeah)
(solo)
Son when walking down the street, a little chick he chanced to meet
so he went to every tavern in town
And he drank lots of liquor and the troubles soon got thicker
now he's jailhouse bound
He's in that jailhouse now (WHERE?)
He's in that jailhouse now
And if he's got a political friend, the judges scentence he will surely suspend
He's in that jailhouse now
(Solo)
Jim Jones liked to roam around with every little girl in town
until he made it with Benny's wife
and then Benny got him in the face and now he's a big disgrace
and now he's graveyard bound
well they used to be friends
but let's let that little matter end
cause he's in the graveyard now
