Leroy

I know a boy, he was never blue
Now he lives in cellblock two
I don't know just why he's blue
Leroy, what'd you do
Well, leroy's back in jail again
Leroy's back in jail again
I don't know why, why he's blue
Leroy, what'd you do
Went to the judge, dig man wail
I'm here and i got leroy's bail
Judge said, son don't you tell me no tale
Leroy, he's gonna stay in jail
Oh, leroy's back in jail again
Leroy's back in jail again
I don't know why, why he's blue
Leroy, what'd you do
Now leroy says, man you tried your best
Now i'm here, gonna take a rest
I've seen minny, she's got the blues
She let you wear my long pointed shoes
Oh, leroy's back in jail again
Leroy's back in jail again
I don't know why, why he's blue
Leroy, what'd you do
(gonna one, yeah, gonna one, two..)
Now leroy's heart is a bowl of hate
Leroy, he just can't go straight
Tell my minny, i can't keep my date
I'm gonna be 'bout six months late
Leroy's back in jail again
Leroy's back in jail again
I don't know why, why he's blue
Leroy, what'd you do
Leroy, what'd you do
Leroy, what'd you do
Leroy!
