Jonathan Coulton & John Roderick - Christmas in Jail Lyrics

Lyrics Christmas in Jail - Jonathan Coulton & John Roderick



Old Daddy can't be there for Christmas
I'm sure your Mamma told you things
Well, first, she never understood me
But I don't want to talk about that now
Now, Daddy hates to be away from you at Christmas
But don't you worry, I'm doing fine inside
I made you a toothpick Eiffel Tower
I got three squares, and I'm making a kinda wine
This punishment is cruel and unusual
Well, I did my best, but the system said I failed
Don't lie awake and wonder whether Santa visits me
There's even Christmas in jail
Well, I had a stack of presents for you, darlin'
Though the sheriff took them down to Evidence
Now, I don't want to put this burden on you
Would you have your mother bring me cigarettes?
You know you're always first in my affection
With good behavior, I'll be out in two
As far as all that money that went missing
Well, it's not for your mother, it's for you (minus expenses)
This punishment is cruel and unusual
Well, I did my best, but the system said I failed
Don't lie awake and wonder whether Santa visits me
There's even Christmas in jail
Yes, sir
Well, the Mess Hall's serving turkey tetrazinni
I got my stocking hung up right above the john, yep
From my little window, I can see the starlight
They're the same old stars that you'll be wishing
This punishment is cruel and unusual
Well, I did my best, but the system said I failed
Don't lie awake and wonder whether Santa visits me
There's even Christmas in jail
This punishment is cruel and unusual
Well, I did my best, but the system said I failed
Don't lie awake and wonder whether Santa visits me
There's even Christmas in jail
And don't lie awake and wonder whether Santa visits me
There's even Christmas in jail
There's even Christmas in jail
