[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
