Couldn't sleep through the heat
Felt the daylight through the sheets
Plus I need to get up
Catch my enemies and put them all in jail
On the way through the day
Birds are singing, children play
But I need to watch out
Catch my enemies and put them all in jail
And not a moment too soon
He got to stop what he doing
I mean this writing is wrong
He won't be doing that for long
In jail, in jail
In jail, in jail
In jail, in jail
In jail, in jail
In jail, in jail
In jail, in jail
In the evening stars are bright
Peaceful feeling through the night
But I need to look out
Catch my enemies and put them all in jail
You know some people
They think they know what happened really is
But I know what happened that really is
Happened just two things
The first thing
Is when you get to ride in a racing car
The second thing
Is when your bad, bad, bad, bad enemies
Are in jail
That's right
When you are riding into a racing car
Is when your bad, bad, bad enemies
Are in jail
So when I'm walking down the street
And I see an enemy
Where do I put him?
(In jail)
That's right
When I'm walking down the street
And I see another enemy
Where do I put him?
(In jail)
Oh, you got right!
I see one more enemy, where do I put him?
(In jail)
Oh, you got right!
Feeling so happy
With my enemies
All in jail
(Put 'em all in jail)
