POKEY’S IN TOWN


Pokey’s in town, Pokey’s in town.
Tell all the neighbors that Pokey’s around.
Tell all the neighbors but don’t tell a cop.
Whatever Pokey’s doing, the cop’ll ask him to stop.

Pokey’s in town but don’t you fear.
He may steal your woman but he’ll buy you a beer.
He’ll buy you a beer so that you won’t mind.
When Pokey’s in town everybody has a good time.

He’ll borrow your banjo, make it ring.
When he brings it back it won’t have strings.
It won’t have strings, but that’s no crime.
When Pokey’s in town everybody has a good time.

Pokey’s in town, what can I say.
I had to break out of jail just to hear him play.
I heard him play, but I can’t win.
The cops nabbed me as I was breaking back in.

Pokey’s in town, Pokey’s in town.
Tell all the neighbors that Pokey’s around.
Tap the deaf on the shoulder, lend a hand to the blind.
When Pokey’s in town everybody has a good time
