Fish In The Jailhouse

Lyrics for Fish In The Jailhouse

(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 They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy They're 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 I'll be in Central Park Fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy They're 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, there's a rollin' fog From Natchez(2) to Kenosha, runnin' down to New York They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight All right (all right), oh boy (oh boy) They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight All right (all right), oh boy (oh boy) They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight All right (all right), oh boy (oh boy) They're serving fish in the jailhouse Fish in the jailhouse tonight Fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy They're serving fish in the jailhouse Fish in the jailhouse tonight
