Lyrics
Well, you dream of blondes and you dream of beer
And life gets terribly stale
It's dead in the morgue but it's deader in here
There's no night out in the gaol
The fellas I knew must all miss me now
I guess I'd better come clean
I'm sweating it out in the "boomie", boys
An unpaying guest of the Queen
This prison life sure suits me fine
I lead a decent life
At last me days are organised
Outside it's nothing but strife
But you dream of blondes and you dream of beer
And life gets terribly stale
It's dead in the morgue but it's deader in here
There's no night out in the gaol
There's no night out in the gaol
Me cobbers inside are just normal blokes
Who lead rather colourful lives
Like breaking and entering and stealing cars
Or just not supporting their wives
Well, some blokes just like collecting things
And some like guzzling beer
Some blokes just can't resist a fight
And some keep on getting ideas
And you dream of blondes and you dream of beer
And life gets terribly stale
It's dead in the morgue but it's deader in here
There's no night out in the gaol
There's no night out in the gaol
I'm working the farm, it's a healthy life
I jump out of bed with a spring
The tucker's not bad, I get lots of sleep
So who'd want to change with a King?
No unemployment scares me now
And even when I am tired
I know I'm on a cushy job
For sure I can never be fired
And you dream of blondes and you dream of beer
And life gets terribly stale
It's dead in the morgue but it's deader in here
There's no night out in the gaol
There's no night out in the gaol
Me creditors just can't annoy me now
Me wife has to get off me back
Me mother-in-law had to drown herself
Not who said the outlook is black?
Nothing now can worry me
Behind these prison walls
Just like a foal of pedigree
I'm locked up at night in my stalls
But you dream of blondes and you dream of beer
And life gets terribly stale
It's dead in the morgue but it's deader in here
There's no night out in the gaol
There's no night out in the gaol
There's no night out in the gaol
There's no night out in the gaol
