The Lyrics
I've been workin' on this jail road,
Thralled in big long chains.
I've been sweatin' out a pail-load,
My freedom I'd like to gain.
There's the dinner whistle blowin'--
Looks like it's chipped beef and creamed corn.
Later, uncapped bet is mountin'--
Diner Luke's in form.
Dinin' on 5-0, dinin' on 5-0,
Dinin' on 5-0 eggs. . .chicks unborn.
Dinin' on 5-0, dinin' on 5-0,
Dinin' on eggs, chicks unborn.
Someone's got to stick in this diner's
Mouth the eggs once he passed 3-0-0-0.
Someone's got to quicken this diner's
Pace so he'll stomach 5-0
They're countin':
Eat 5, 15, 2-0,
2-5, 3-0, 3-5, 4-0-0,
4-5, 50--5-0!
Stomach's now about to blow.
Thralled in big long chains.
I've been sweatin' out a pail-load,
My freedom I'd like to gain.
There's the dinner whistle blowin'--
Looks like it's chipped beef and creamed corn.
Later, uncapped bet is mountin'--
Diner Luke's in form.
Dinin' on 5-0, dinin' on 5-0,
Dinin' on 5-0 eggs. . .chicks unborn.
Dinin' on 5-0, dinin' on 5-0,
Dinin' on eggs, chicks unborn.
Someone's got to stick in this diner's
Mouth the eggs once he passed 3-0-0-0.
Someone's got to quicken this diner's
Pace so he'll stomach 5-0
They're countin':
Eat 5, 15, 2-0,
2-5, 3-0, 3-5, 4-0-0,
4-5, 50--5-0!
Stomach's now about to blow.
