The Big House

He'd been young
 And abused
 But all he felt
 Was amused
 Here in the Big House
 You give before you take
 It's just another mistake
 that you make
 Cellmate Rudy
 Came from Japan
 Where they taught him
 How to kill with his hands
 Now he's in the Big House
 'Cause he found his girl
 With her Johnny cake
 It's just another mistake
 that you make
 No mistake
 Christmas comes just one time a year
 That's the breaks
 And you know why
 Let me out
 And I will be your basic citizen
 Set me free
 You'll know where to find me
 You'll know where to find me
 He sits alone in his cell
 With his two parakeets
 Named 'em "Amos and Andy"
 Ain't that sweet?
 You wind up in the Big House
 If you got what it takes
 To make another mistake
 It's just another mistake
 It's just another mistake
