Quick joey smallkasenetz katz singing orchestral circusquick joey small went over the wallwith a ball an' a chain behind himquick joey small went over the wallsend the dogs right out to find him.in a striped prision suit with no room to move he headed for the highwaywith his chain still dragin' he thumbed down a wagon said well you're goin my way.and they say nowrefrainrun joey , joey run run the hounds are on your trailjump-up jump-uprun joey , joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail.sheriff got a shotgun, he dohe'll fill you full of lead son, it's true.he's also got a blackjack, he's mad he'd bust your head with one wack,here i go now.run joey , joey run run the hounds are on your trail.sweet mary jane was goin' insane when she heard of joey's jail breakbut she knew all the while 'cause she sent him a file baked inside a fudge cake.(repeat refrain)sheriff jack banes was a light on brainsbut he knew one thing for sure he took some toughs and a pair of handcuffsand headed straight for mary jane's door(repeat refrain)(repeat refrain)...............lyrics transcribed by jake riley
