I had a search, and could not find any more verses. So, I wrote a couple. Note: Barlinnie Prison is in Glasgow Cheers, Steven Outside a lunatic asylum one day I was picking up some stones; Up popped a lunatic and said to me Good Morning Mister Jones, How much a week do you get for doing that? Fifteen bob, he cried. He looked at me With a look of glee, And this is what he cried: Come inside, you silly bugger, come inside. I thought you had a bit more sense, Working for your money? Take my tip, Act a bit funny and become a lunatic. You get your four meals regular And two new suits beside. Wot? Fifteen bob a week, A wife and kids to keep? Come inside, you silly bugger, come inside. Outside Barlinnie Prison, the other day Picking litter up off the street Out came a warder and he said to me "you look dead on your feet. how Many hours a day do they Have you doing that?" Nine to five, I sighed He laughed and laughed Called me daft And gently he replied Come inside, you silly bugger, come inside. I thought you had a bit more sense, (yes, I did) Work your hands all raw? No. Do a little crime, Get lifted by the law and serve a bit of time. You get your porridge regular And two new suits beside. Work forty hours a week? Come in and have a sleep. Come inside, you silly bugger, come inside. I died and was sent to Heaven (the other day) and walked round by the Gates of Hell (it's a shortcut) The devil came out and said to me "my boy, you don't look well." How long'll you be be sittin twanging harps on clouds? For Eternity, I said He clapped his hands Did a little dance And he kindly slapped my head Come inside, you silly bugger, come inside. I thought you had a bit more sense, (yes, I did) Singing in the choir? Heavenly host? There's a nice warm fire, and you'll get a bit of roast You'd be bored up there in Heaven And that gown's a bit too wide. Head through the Pearly Gates? Nah...Come in and join your mates. Come inside, you silly bugger, come inside.
