I went to a party at the local county jail
All the cons were dancing and the band began to wail
But the guys were indiscreet
They were brawling in the street
At the local dance at the local county jail

Well the band were playing and the booze began to flow
But the sound came over on the police car radio
Down at precinct 49
Having a tear-gas of a time
Sergeant Baker got a call from the Governor of the county jail

Load up, load up, load up
With rubber bullets
Load up, load up, load up
With rubber bullets

I love to hear those convicts squeal
It's a shame these slugs ain't real
But we can't have dancin' at the local county jail

Sergeant Baker and his men made a bee-line for the jail
And for miles around you could hear the sirens wail
There's a rumor goin' 'round death row
That a fuse is gonna blow
At the local hop at the local county jail

Sergeant Baker started talkin' with a bullhorn in his hand
He was cool, he was clear, he was always in command
He said "Blood will flow here Padre
Padre you talk to your boys
Trust in me God will come to set you free"

Well we don't understand why you called in the national guard
When uncle Sam is the one who belongs in the exercise yard
We all got balls and brains
But some's got balls and chains
At the local dance at the local county jail

Load up, load up, load up
With rubber bullets
Load up, load up, load up
With rubber bullets

Is it really such a crime
For a guy to spend his time
At the local dance at the local county jail?
At the local dance at the local county jail

Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do?
