[Verse 1]:
As I drove across the border
For a cool vacation drive
To a country of disorder
Where they sure don't take no jive
We did not find the sisters
And we did not find the smokes
But when we landed in the jail house
We thought it was a hell of a joke
[Chorus]:
Hey, police man, give me a smile
I wanna take your picture
It won’t take a while
Hey, jailer won't you give me a grin
Move over lеt me squeeze you in
Wherе are you going with my money and shoes
You know a boy can't sing the blues in his stocking feet
[Verse 2]:
We landed in the jailhouse
It was a cool 15 by 3
Fifteen fallen brothers
Was shivering next to me
There was the man who sold his sister
And the man who sold his smokes
But when we landed in the jail house
We knew that it wasn’t a joke
[Chorus]:
Hey, police man, give me a smile
I wanna take your picture
It won't take a while
Hey, jailer won't you give me a grin
Move over let me squeeze you in
Where are you going with my money and shoes
You know a boy can't sing the blues in his stocking feet
[Verse 3]:
Next door to the ice box
Was a buck 15 by 5
Three rockin rollers roasting
In the company of 45
Talk about revolution
With the roaches on the floor
Well they must have cared about pollution
Because they did not open the door
[Chorus]:
Hey, police man, give me a smile
I wanna take your picture
It won't take a while
Hey, jailer won't you give me a grin
Move over let me squeeze you in
Where are you going with my money and shoes
You know a boy can't sing the blues in his stocking feet
