Too doop too too doo too
One time I spent a week inside a little country jail
And I don`t guess I`ll ever live it down
I was sittin` at red light when these two men came and got me
And said that I was speedin` through their town
Well they said tomorrow morning you can see the judge then go
They let me call one person on the phone
I thought I`d be there over night so I just called my boss
To tell him I`d be off but not for long
They motioned me inside a cell with seven other guys
One little barred-up window in the rear
My cellmate said if they had let me bring some money in
We ought to send the jailer for some beer
Well I had to pay him double cause he was the man in charge
And the jailer`s job was not the best in town
Later on his wife brought hot bologna eggs and gravy
The first day I was there I turned it down
Next morning they just let us sleep but I was up real early
Wondering when I get my release
Later on we got more hot bologna eggs and gravy
And by now I wasn`t quite so hard to please
Two days later when I thought that I had been forgotten
The sheriff came in chewing on a straw
He said where is the guy who thinks that this is Indianapolis
I`d like to talk to him about the law
Well I told him who I was and told him I was working steady
And I really should be gettin` on my way
That part about me being who I was did not impress him
He said the judge will be here any day
The jailer had a wife and let me tell you she was awful
But she brought that hot bologna every day
And after seven days she got to looking so much better
I asked her if she`d like to run away
The next morning that old judge took every nickel that I have
And he said son let this teach you not to race
The jailer`s wife was smiling from the window as I left
In thirty minutes I was out of state
Too doo too too doo hoo
