City jail city jail like an old scared dog I tuck my tail
城市监狱 城市监狱 像只受惊的老狗 我夹紧尾巴
Bow my head and not a careless word is said
低头不语 不敢再口无遮拦
Gotta sleep on the floor once more at city jail
又一次 我只能在城市监狱的地板上过夜
Well I was hangin' round the bus station
那时我在巴士站闲逛
Mindin' my own business like I always do
像往常一样 自顾自地消磨时光
When I saw this waitress in this bus station cafe
直到看见车站餐厅的女服务员
And I thought I check out the action like I always do
我像平时那样 想找点乐子
I'd give her the bad eye
对她投去了不怀好意的目光
And made a few choices personal comments
还对她评头论足说了些轻佻话
About what I thought mine
自以为那些下流念头
And her possibilities could be for a team
能让她跟我发生点什么
When she called the badge on me
直到她叫来了警察
The badge grabbed me by the arm and he said
警官一把抓住我的胳膊质问
What are you doin' hangin' around here for
你在这儿鬼鬼祟祟干什么
And I said for whatever's goin' around
我支吾着说就随便转转
City jail city jail like an old scared dog I tuck my tail
城市监狱 城市监狱 像只受惊的老狗 我夹紧尾巴
Bow my head and not a careless word is said
低头不语 不敢再口无遮拦
Gotta sleep on the floor once more at city jail
又一次 我只能在城市监狱的地板上过夜
He said no what I mean is what are you doin'
他说不 我的意思是你在干什么
Sayin' things like that to that lady
对那位女士说那样的话
And I said what's that lady's doin' with purple hair
而我说那位紫发女士在做什么
Well the badge said you're smart alec
警徽说你是自作聪明
And I said no I ain't I'm just hungry
而我说不 我只是饿了
And he said you're actin' like a smart alec
他说我像个自作聪明的家伙
And I said no that's how I act when I get hungry
我解释那只是饥饿时的表现
City jail city jail like an old scared dog I tuck my tail
城市监狱 城市监狱 像只受惊的老狗 我夹紧尾巴
Bow my head and not a careless word is said
低头不语 不敢再口无遮拦
Gotta sleep on the floor once more at city jail
又一次 我只能在城市监狱的地板上过夜
Well he put me outside in a dark corner
他将我关进阴暗角落
And before you could say hypocrite he hit me on the head
未及喊冤 警棍已落在我头上
And I said oooh don't hit me on the head
我哀求着别打我的头
I can't protect myself with the handcuffs on
手铐在身 我无力自保
Please don't hit me on the head then he hit me again
求你别打我的头 可他又挥拳相向
He hit me again he hit me again
一拳又一拳 接连不断
And I said oh oh oh oh oh
我只能痛苦呻吟
Please don't stand on my feet when you hit me
殴打时请别踩着我的脚
I break my ankles when I fall
跌倒时我扭伤了脚踝
City jail city jail like an old scared dog I tuck my tail
城市监狱 城市监狱 像只受惊的老狗 我夹紧尾巴
Bow my head and not a careless word is said
低头不语 不敢再口无遮拦
Gotta sleep on the floor once more at city jail
又一次 我只能在城市监狱的地板上过夜
Well about that time they threw me in the wagon
就在那时他们把我扔进了警车
And that waitress walked out with a sailor
而那个女服务员挽着水手扬长而去
I said hey you not you I'm talkin'
我说"嘿 不是你 我在跟那个
To the purple people eater
紫色怪物说话"
Yes you lady quote you're the cause of it all unquote
没错就是你女士"你才是一切的祸根"
Then she said to that sailor said get me away
然后她对水手说"快带我离开
From that horrible man Harry
这个可怕的哈利"
City jail city jail like an old scared dog I tuck my tail
城市监狱 城市监狱 像只受惊的老狗 我夹紧尾巴
Bow my head and not a careless word is said
低头不语 不敢再口无遮拦
Gotta sleep on the floor once more at city jail
又一次 我只能在城市监狱的地板上过夜
Well as they hauled me away
当他们拖走我时
I said everybody have a nice evening
我只能说"祝各位晚安"
