In the Graveyard Now

Lyrics

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
