in the pokey, in the hoosegow

in the pokey
in the hoosegow
that's where you're gonna get
gonna get stashed
'cause you're one of those mustache charlies
walking that walk
and talking that trash
well, let me say
on my own behalf
there are lessons you should have learned

in the pokey
in the hoosegow
that's where you're gonna get
gonna get jailed
'cause you're one of those downtown daddies
wasting your time
by chasing that tail
this time the long arm
of the law will prevail
and you're gonna get your fool ass burned

           'cause in the pokey
           in the hoosegow
           they ain't gonna 
           set you loose now
           man, you really
           cooked your goose now
           but it's gonna taste like eating crow

in the pokey
in the hoosegow
that's where you're gonna call
gonna call home
'cause you act all hoity-toity
driving over forty
in the caution zone
c'mon, hang up 
your fuckin' phone
and look me in the eyes
