Walla Walla Lyrics

[Intro]
One-and-two-and-three-and-four-and
One-and-two-and-three-and-four-and
One-and-two-and-three-and-four-and
One-and-two-and-three-and-four-and...


[Verse 1]
Goodbye, my friend, you've messed up again
You're going to prison, you're off to the pen
You've gotten off easy so many times
I guess no one told you how to get a life

[Verse 2]
The judge wasn't lenient like he was before
You got three to five and a kick out the door
The public defender really did try
Too little, too late, you didn't get a life


[Chorus]
Hey, in Walla, I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time!
Hey, in Walla, I'll see you in Walla Walla
Folsom Prison is the destination
Hey, in Walla, I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time!
In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others
Well, I'll see ya!

[Verse 3]
That car looked so tempting, so easy to drive
Just like that apartment that you burglarized
You started to run, but didn't get far
’Cause under your arm was a VCR

[Chorus]
Hey, in Walla, I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time!
Hey, in Walla, I'll see you in Walla Walla
Folsom Prison is the destination
Hey, in Walla, I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time!
In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others
Well, I'll see ya!

[Bridge: Spoken]
I'm innocent
I didn't do it
I didn't do nothin', man
This is bullshit
He gave it to me... it was, it was a present
Ho ho, not this time, my friend
You'll be in lockdown by ten
I'm afraid you can't talk your way out of this one, son
Now four walls are your 24-hour-a-day constant companions
[Chorus]
Hey, in Walla, I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time!
Hey, in Walla, I'll see you in Walla Walla
Folsom Prison is the destination
Hey, in Walla, I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time!
In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others

[Outro]
Well, I'll see ya
Well, I'll see ya
Have a nice life!
