When I was young they sent me to school,
but I says to myself,
John boy, you're a fool.
So I just hightailed myself out of there and
went swimming in the pool.
They got me.
Yeah, they got me.
I was just putting on my clothes when two
big truant officers grabbed me by the nose.
They took me back to my poetry and prose,
smart alecks.
One day I got a greeting from my
Uncle
Sam.
He says, come on over and
eat with us a while.
We're serving good old country ham.
I says, uh -uh, not me.
I'm staying right where I am.
They got me.
Yeah they got me all right.
They says are you coming peaceable
or do we have to
come and get you?
After they come and got me I
went peaceable.
Disgusting.
While I
was overseas though I met a
cute young fella.
She thought I was gonna marry
her.
she was just that silly then her dad and brothers
said you either hold her hand bud or a pretty
white lily they got me yeah they got me next thing
i knew i was saying i do then she says honey i got
a big surprise for you in come a whole bunch
of her kids i passed out after i counted 22
that got me I struck it lucky though
and soon good
fortune come my way I says
with all these kids no income tax
will I have to pay I ignored them
for 14 years and then one day
you guessed it yeah they got me
but my cell is nice no
spots and no smears. I'm happy
no need for tears.
They're gonna let me out in 600
more years. I mean to
tell you they really got me.
