Dr. Feelgood - Riot In Cell Block No. 9 Lyrics
(leiber/stoller)On july second, 1953,I was serving time for armed robbery'bout four in the morningI was sleepin' in my cellI heard a whistle blowI heard somebody yellThere's a riot goin' onThere's a riot goin' onThere's a riot goin' onUp in cell block number nineThe trouble started in cell block no. 4It spread like fire across the prison floorI said "come on boys, get ready to run -Here comes the warden with a tommy gun"There's a riot goin' onThere's a riot goin' onThere's a riot goin' onUp in cell block number nineThe warden said"come out with your hands up in the airIf you don't stop this riot (or: you gonna start a riot ???)You're all gonna get the chair"Scarface jones said, "it's too late to quitAnd pass the dynamite, 'cause the fuse is lit"There's a riot goin' onThere's a riot goin' onThere's a riot goin' onUp in cell block number nineThe ninety-second hourThe tear gas got our menCrawled in our cellsBut every now and then...There's a riot goin' onThere's a riot goin' onThere's a riot goin' onUp in cell block number nine
