All the cons were dancing and the men began to wail 
        A                              G 
But the guys were indiscrete they were balling in the street

At the local dance at the local county jail

Sergeant Baker and his men made a beeline for the jail 
D                                              G 
And for miles around you could hear the sirens wail 
          A                                  G 
There's a rumour going down death row that a fuse is going to blow
