A
Weird goings-on at the County Jail
The door flies open, in strides Geek

G                      D             A
Prisoners reading the sheriff's mail
Looking like the front page of Newsweek

A
He's strapped down to a swivel chair
He says to Lou in a voice of glee,

G                      D            A
trying to swivel right out of there
'What's the matter, ain't you glad to see me?'

E
Pin-striped Sweet's in Cell 15
Lou's on the floor 'cause he can't stand up

G               D                A
  Convinced his self it's all a dream
  as green as a leaf in a tea-cup

E
He's got a pet black tabby cat
When on to Geek's back jumps a Stetson-hatted cat

G                D                       A
  that carries a gun and wears a Stetson hat
  Which breaks Geek's neck like he was a rat
