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

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


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

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


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

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


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

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