Lyrics: Baby's In The Big House

First time I saw her she was working on a chain gang
road
Straining her prison blues, I thought the buttons were
about to explode
I slammed on my brakes and jumped outta my car
I said, “I love you baby, whoever you are!”
The guard said, “Buddy get on your way, you can see
her on visiting day”

(CHORUS 1.)
Baby’s in the big house, baby’s in the big house
She’s the hottest thing on cellblock number nine
Ringing my bad-girl-loving bell over at the big hard
rock hotel
Baby’s in the big house doing her time
But in two to five I’m gonna make her mine

I said, “Baby, what’s your number?” She said “ZE7-08.”
I said “Well baby, I got to have you!” She said
“Honey, you’ll have to wait.”
I’ll go and see her on the weekends and get me a pass
Kiss my baby through bullet-proof glass
We could be just like Bonnie and Clyde, but I gotta
find a way inside
(REPEAT CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
Well, I went downtown to the jewelry store
Broke out a window and sat on the floor
I called the cops and said “Take me away,
I gotta be with my big house baby”
The judge gave me ninety days!

(CHORUS 2)
Now I’m in the big house, now I’m in the big house
Living down the hall from cellblock number nine
I’m hearing those prison wedding bells over at the big
hard rock hotel
Baby’s in the big house doing her time
But in the big house I’m gonna make her mine (IN THE
BIG HOUSE etc.)

(REPEAT CHORUS)
