Christmas in Jail Joyner Burton Lee Sr. (w. minor adaptations) INTRO: Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to you, but for me it’s. Christmas in jail, Christmas in jail I had a little too much to drink I ain't got no bail Gotta pee in a pail I'm spendin' New Year's Eve in the clink I was feelin' no pain And in the wrong lane Doin’ ‘bout seventy-five When I ran right into You can guess who and they say I'm lucky to be alive Merry Christmas Happy New Year They're singin' down the street While everybody's havin' Christmas turkey, I’m gonna get bread and water to eat Christmas in jail Christmas in jail I wore my shoes out pacin' the floor I got lumps in my bed And rocks in my head Ain't gonna drink and drive no more. Repeat last two stanza with ending: Ain't gonna drink and drive no more, No ... ain't gonna drink and drive no more, No ... ain't gonna drink ... and drive ... no more. No I won’t. No I won’t. Won’t I ever learn?!?
