[00:10.19] | Old Daddy can't be there for Christmas |
[00:15.12] | I'm sure your Momma told you things |
[00:19.27] | Well first, she never understood me |
[00:24.07] | But I don't want to talk about that now |
[00:28.48] | Now, Daddy hates to be away from you at Christmas |
[00:33.26] | But don't you worry, I'm doing fine inside |
[00:37.60] | I made you a toothpick Eiffel Tower |
[00:42.06] | I got three squares and I'm making a kinda wine |
[00:46.68] | This punishment is cruel and unusual |
[00:51.26] | Well I did my best, but the system said I failed |
[00:55.70] | Don't lie awake and wonder whether Santa visits me |
[01:00.60] | There's even Christmas in jail |
[01:05.07] | Well I had a stack of presents for you, darlin' |
[01:09.55] | Though the sheriff took them down to Evidence |
[01:14.02] | Now, I don't want to put this burden on you |
[01:18.71] | Would you have your mother bring me cigarettes? |
[01:23.48] | You know you're always first in my affection |
[01:27.79] | With good behavior, I'll be out in two |
[01:32.40] | As far as all that money that went missing |
[01:37.15] | Well it's not for your mother, it's for you (minus expenses) |
[01:41.58][02:36.42][02:54.58] | This punishment is cruel and unusual |
[01:46.42][02:41.14][02:59.36] | Well I did my best, but the system said I failed |
[01:50.96][02:45.52][03:03.81][03:12.86] | Don't lie awake and wonder whether Santa visits me |
[01:55.68][02:50.42][03:08.85][03:18.08] | There's even Christmas in jail |
[02:11.37] | Yessir |
[02:18.15] | Well the Mess Hall's serving turkey tetrazinni |
[02:22.68] | I got my stocking hung up right above the john, yep |
[02:27.27] | From my little window, I can see the starlight |
[02:31.86] | They're the same old stars that you'll be wishing on |
