The Lyrics
Famous names..
Who used to gangster bang
Did Alcatraz..
Sent up to serve hard time,
And hear the cell doors clang
In Alcatraz..
Bootleg booze,
Hijackin' liquor trucks
Racketeers
Piled up illegal bucks
Till it was, "See ya, Pal" ..off to that Rock of Hell
Called Al...ca....traz
The Rock,
That's Alcatraz
No one...
Escaped from
Alcatraz, (or so they say)
Days drug on - and nights were extra long
At Alcatraz..
Birdman, named Robert Stroud - sat in the fortress strong,
Called Alcatraz..
Found a way
To make the birds his friend
Tougher cons
Who wouldn't break would bend
Thugs from New York and Cal.,
Some never lived to tell
'Bout Al...ca...traz
Al Capone
Would get a special suite
In Alcatraz..
But, no favors for
This mob elite
At Alcatraz..
Not like Atlanta, where
He had hurrah..
In here, his health diminished,
Had dementia..
Chicago, he was Don
But just another con
At Alcatraz..
Gray and grim, still standing,
Out in Frisco Bay,
Is Alcatraz..
Just a tourist sight,
That's all it is today,
Old Alcatraz..
Nights, the ghosts of those old mobsters
Prob'lly dine on steak and lobsters
Tellin' tales, while sea wind wails
Thru Al...ca...traz..
'Bout the warden's wife
And how they stood the strife
Of Al...ca....traz..
Who used to gangster bang
Did Alcatraz..
Sent up to serve hard time,
And hear the cell doors clang
In Alcatraz..
Bootleg booze,
Hijackin' liquor trucks
Racketeers
Piled up illegal bucks
Till it was, "See ya, Pal" ..off to that Rock of Hell
Called Al...ca....traz
The Rock,
That's Alcatraz
No one...
Escaped from
Alcatraz, (or so they say)
Days drug on - and nights were extra long
At Alcatraz..
Birdman, named Robert Stroud - sat in the fortress strong,
Called Alcatraz..
Found a way
To make the birds his friend
Tougher cons
Who wouldn't break would bend
Thugs from New York and Cal.,
Some never lived to tell
'Bout Al...ca...traz

Great work, AFW, always been fascinated by Alcatraz. I have two Alcatraz shotglasses, one single, one double. 5s.
Took a ferry past it once on a business trip...quite impressive. A little birdie(from a birdman), told me to give you 555 years...LOL
A couple of hot flapper babes named Roxie and Velma told me to give you All .. These .. Fives
great write, sir, as I've been there ! . . only as a tourist, sir L'air de Farce, Dule oEdge, Lord Hide-A-Bed.
Great work AFW!!! This sure would take me away to Alcatraz! Makes me wanna get a job as a showgirl there after hearing this satire!
Thanks, everyone...always appreciate your comments and votes
Great job, I've been to Alcatraz too. It is spooky but you gotta remember that the hardcore types did tme there - mobsters, rapists, hit men, bank robbers, perverts, etc. One thing to note: it was shut down in 1962 and from 1969-1971 the vacant Rock was OCCUPIED by Native Americans protesting their rotten treatment. There's evidence of these protest activities there.
