He Sings Behind Prison Bars Blues
He sings "behind prison bars" blues
'cause he's walked in another man's shoes!
He feels so bereft
since identity theft
only works until one pays his dues.

Lax
I once was a little bit lax,
Failing to pay my income tax.
There is no need to guess,
I then faced the IRS;
Was sent to prison to relax.

Iq of a Grape
From prison he tried to escape
But, had the IQ of a grape
… His rocket (mis-wired)
… Quickly backfired
Now he’s all over the landscape

Cellblock Follies
The homophobic banker he was penned
That careless fool was found to misspend
He thought prison would be cake
Until he met fat old Jake
Now he has got a hairy boyfriend!

Oh Brother
I once had a brother in prison.
He knew what in life he was missin"
So he spent out his days
in profitable ways
and learned because he could listen.

Dead Man's Shoes
They gave me some nice tennis shoes.
When I came to prison it's true.
They said you must wear
and you must not care.
That a dead man has done paid his dues.

Sleaze Harry is a sick minded dude,
Who’s love life is all camera viewed,
So you won’t see him flirt,
But he’ll photo up-skirt...
Then complain that he hates prison food.

Unlucky Snake
Unlucky snake
A slippery fellow named mandrake
From the zoo made a swift prison break
But a redback named Crunch
Had him for lunch
Down here our spiders eat snake.

The Trick of St Patrick
Patrick lived in Great Britain, his wick,
But when he was sixteen and quick,
Was captured by pirates horrible,
Taken to Ireland adorable,
Where he found god, his walking stick.

Ale Sale
There was an old lag* at my sale,
Who drank all the barrels of ale,
As the beer was sublime,
He confessed to a crime,
And puked on returning to jail.

Say Cheese
Government cheese stops malnutrition
But gouda’s the better provision
Choose a sharp or dull knife
If I’m sentenced to life
I’ll go with the government prison.

A Fellow Named Bernie
Do you know a fellow named Bernie
Who was indicted by our Grand Jury
The Ponzie scheme that he played
And all those people he flayed
He is now on a long Prison Journey

Justice For All
Pigeons are irritating urban pests
There is no doubt I don't say this in jest
They'll poop on a bench
Creating a stench

Case Goes To Higher Court
Highly intelligent are they
With words they play all day
On your side they work
Your case take in a lurch
As in prison you learn to stay

The Arrest
Chris Lovelock had talked to a friend
About bringing his life to an end.
But the friend then betrayed him
And the cops came and stayed him
By giving him six days in the pen!

Paddy's Report
Electrician Paddy, an Irish chap,
gave the U.Sprison service a slap,
when he made them aware,
that the, electric chair,
to be sure was no more than a death trap.

Worldly Prison
Worldly Prison
While on earth are in a worldly prison;
Jesus back to heaven He has arisen;
Each door there for us was opened wide
So we could very easily go inside;
Our church priest want to christen.

Parable 6: Forgiveness
A man whose boss forgave him a large debt
then charged a friend who owed him with a threat:
“Now pay what you owe
or to prison you go.”
The boss jailed that man till his debt was met.

Schism
The teacher's feet flew up on the desk,
Striking the class as rather grotesque:
It caused quite a schism,
As she'd just escaped prison!
Was this a school-room or house of burlesque?

Jail Bird
You spend all the day sneaking about
but you'll pay for each rule you now flout
You can bet that sweet tail,

and you'll sing like a bird to get out!

Noteworthy
Joe Doaks was a hardened criminal
the truth about him wasn’t subliminal.
Then he met a sweetheart
who gave him a new start.
Now he leads a prison choir with a hymnal.

Cletus O'Toole - Horse Thief
Cletus O'Toole in a moment of greed
'Borrowed' the judge's magnificent steed
To steal a horse not his'n
He spent six months in prison
His name e'er stained for that dastardly deed!

Peeping Tom - Bawdy
Two things old Peeping Tom knew for certain,
Only perverts would peek through a curtain
To see the forbidden,
Kept carefully hidden
And one day in prison he'd be hurtin’.
