A
Weird goings-on at the County Jail

The door flies open, in strides Geek

G                      D             A
Prisoners reading the sheriff's mail

Looking like the front page of Newsweek

A
He's strapped down to a swivel chair

He says to Lou in a voice of glee,

G                      D            A
trying to swivel right out of there

'What's the matter, ain't you glad to see me?'

E
Pin-striped Sweet's in Cell 15

Lou's on the floor 'cause he can't stand up

G               D                A
  Convinced his self it's all a dream

as green as a leaf in a tea-cup

E
He's got a pet black tabby cat

When on to Geek's back jumps a Stetson-hatted cat

G                D                       A
  that carries a gun and wears a Stetson hat

Which breaks Geek's neck like he was a rat SOLO: |A ///|G / D /|A ///|A ///| |E ///|G / D /|A ///|A ///| OUTRO:
