lyrics

You found the money in the Gap bag next to the dope
Now you're showering in the Big House, trying not to pick up the soap
You never had a clue Danny, you little innocent you Danny Boy, well I .....
I wouldn't wanna' scare you needlessly, but that beaut in maximum security
Says that you're his bitch tonight

You stuffed the body down the storm drain out by the bins
Now your brief says he can sort it, but he's pissing in the wind
You should have stayed at home Danny, and never be let out on your own Danny Boy
Well I hope, you're happy here in purgatory, bouncing off the walls in solitary
And you won't get out for years and years

You're gonna' be banged up for life, a repeat offender
Don't come crying to me at night
You could have been a contender. a contender, a contender

Ooh, do you ever dream of going straight, seriously?
Or would you like some more powdered glass in your tea?
Did the screws complain about the noise, when the boys took their liberty?

Well that degree in Social Studies really soaked up the time
You've got yourself a prison visitor groupie, she says she's fascinated by crime
And now you're gonna' nail her, in the conjugal trailer Danny Boy
If your peccadillos go beyond the pale, she can sell the story to the Daily Mail
And you might get out before you die

And when they release you on bail
We'll go on a massive bender
The celebrity too big for jail
And suddenly a contender, a contender, a contender, a contender, a contender, a Contender ....
