[00:28.248]I went to a party at the local county jail
[00:34.196]All the cons were dancing and the band began to wail
[00:40.755]But the guys were indiscreet
[00:43.926]They were brawling in the street
[00:47.112]At the local dance at the local county jail
[00:53.569]Well the band were playing
[00:55.246]And the booze began to flow
[01:00.156]But the sound came over on the police car radio
[01:06.574]Down at Precinct 49
[01:09.894]Having a tear-gas of a time
[01:12.990]Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of the county jail
[01:18.065]
[01:19.413]Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
[01:25.883]Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
[01:31.948]I love to hear those convicts squeal
[01:35.438]It's a shame these slugs ain't real
[01:38.635]But we can't have dancin' at the local county jail
[01:45.175]Sergeant Baker and his men made a bee-line for the jail
[01:51.716]And for miles around
[01:53.304]You could hear the sirens wail
[01:58.132]There's a rumor goin' 'round death row
[02:01.373]That a fuse is gonna blow
[02:04.558]At the local hop at the local county jail (whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do?)
[02:11.273]Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do?
[02:41.876]Sergeant Baker started talkin' with a bullhorn in his hand (bullhorn in his hand, bullhorn in his hand)
[02:48.014]He was cool, he was clear, he was always in command (always in command, always in command)
[02:53.393]He said "Blood will flow, here Padre
[03:00.704]Padre you talk to your boys"
[03:05.778]"Trust in me
[03:08.976]God will come to set you free"
[03:18.108]Well we don't understand why you called in the National Guard (National Guard, the National Guard)
[03:24.458]When Uncle Sam is the one who belongs in the exercise yard (exercise yard, the exercise yard)
[03:31.227]We all got balls and brains
[03:34.315]But some's got balls and chains
[03:37.497]At the local dance at the local county jail
[03:43.772]Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
[03:50.213]Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
[03:56.875]Is it really such a crime
[03:59.606]For a guy to spend his time
[04:03.089]At the local dance at the local county jail
[04:09.459]At the local dance at the local county jail (whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do?)
[04:16.139]Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do?
