Текст песни
Woke up to the rattle
Tin tray
Cold toast
Guard got a limp
And a mean old ghost
Stripes on my back
Like a worn-out rug
But my feet start twitchin
When the keys go thud
We got that cellblock swing
Kick the gravel up high hey!
Steel doors ring when the rhythm walks by
Chain-gang shuffle
Make the warden shout
If you ain't dancin' in the pen
They're gonna drag you out come on
Big Joe drumming
On his tin cup throne
Tattoo Sally
Got a heart of stone
Lights flick twice
Then the bunkbeds shake
When the whole damn row
Starts to shimmy and quake
We got that cellblock swing
Kick the gravel up high oh yeah
Steel doors ring when the rhythm walks by
Chain-gang shuffle
Make the warden shout
If you ain't dancin' in the pen
They're gonna drag you out
Guard says Quiet
We shout Too late
Rhythm broke the lock
On the old back gate
Ain't got freedom
But we got this groove
Every stomp
Every shout
Makes the walls all move
We got that cellblock swing
Kick the gravel up high
Steel doors ring when the rhythm walks by
Chain-gang shuffle
Make the warden shout hey!
If you ain't dancin' in the pen
They're gonna drag you out
