Tom Waits

(Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan)
Peoria Johnson told Dirty Ol Joe
I can break out of any old jail, you know
The bars are iron, the walls are stone
All I need me is an old fishbone
Fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy
Theyre serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy
Theyre serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy
Theyre serving fish in the jailhouse
Fish in the jailhouse tonight
[?] hammerhead shark
Well, a steelhead salmon or a mud bank carp
I said, one side dull, and then the other side sharp
And on Saturday night Ill be in Central Park
Fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy
Theyre serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy
Theyre serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy
Theyre serving fish in the jailhouse
Fish in the jailhouse tonight
Ask Little Slow Jackson, on a forty-four trip
Ask Whipperfield[?] Farraday, ask what I did
From the jail to the city, theres a rollin fog
From Natchez(2) to Kenosha, runnin down to New York
Theyre serving fish in the jailhouse tonight
All right (all right), oh boy (oh boy)
Theyre serving fish in the jailhouse tonight
All right (all right), oh boy (oh boy)
Theyre serving fish in the jailhouse tonight
All right (all right), oh boy (oh boy)
Theyre serving fish in the jailhouse
Fish in the jailhouse tonight
Fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy
Theyre serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy
Theyre serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy
Theyre serving fish in the jailhouse
Fish in the jailhouse tonight
