Christmas in Jail

Old Daddy can't be there for Christmas
 I'm sure your Mamma told you things
 Well, first, she never understood me
 But I don't want to talk about that now
 Now, Daddy hates to be away from you at Christmas
 But don't you worry, I'm doing fine inside
 I made you a toothpick Eiffel Tower
 I got three squares, and I'm making a kinda wine
 This punishment is cruel and unusual
 Well, I did my best, but the system said I failed
 Don't lie awake and wonder whether Santa visits me
 There's even Christmas in jail
 Well, I had a stack of presents for you, darlin'
 Though the sheriff took them down to Evidence
 Now, I don't want to put this burden on you
 Would you have your mother bring me cigarettes?
 You know you're always first in my affection
 With good behavior, I'll be out in two
 As far as all that money that went missing
 Well, it's not for your mother, it's for you (minus expenses)
 This punishment is cruel and unusual
 Well, I did my best, but the system said I failed
 Don't lie awake and wonder whether Santa visits me
 There's even Christmas in jail
 ♪
 Yes, sir

 Well, the Mess Hall's serving turkey tetrazinni
 I got my stocking hung up right above the john, yep
 From my little window, I can see the starlight
 They're the same old stars that you'll be wishing
 This punishment is cruel and unusual
 Well, I did my best, but the system said I failed
 Don't lie awake and wonder whether Santa visits me
 There's even Christmas in jail
 This punishment is cruel and unusual
 Well, I did my best, but the system said I failed
 Don't lie awake and wonder whether Santa visits me
 There's even Christmas in jail
 And don't lie awake and wonder whether Santa visits me
 There's even Christmas in jail
 There's even Christmas in jail
