  • One and two and three and four and
    One and two and three and four and
    One and two and three and four and
    One and two and three and four and

    Goodbye my friend, you messed up again
    You're going to prison, you're off to the pen
    You've gotten off easy so many times
    I guess no one told you how to get a life

    The judge wasn't lenient like he was before
    You got three to five and a kick out the door
    The public defender really did try
    Too little, too late, you didn't get a life

    Hey, in Walla
    I'll see you in Walla Walla
    Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
    Hey, in Walla
    I'll see you in Walla Walla
    Folsom prison is the destination
    Hey, in Walla
    I'll see you in Walla Walla
    Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time

    In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
    Rehabilitate with all the others, oh
    Well, I'll see ya

    That car looked so tempting, so easy to drive
    Just like that apartment that you burglarized
    You started to run but didn't get far
    'Cause under your arm was a VCR

    Hey, in Walla
    I'll see you in Walla Walla
    Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
    Hey, in Walla
    I'll see you in Walla Walla
    Folsom prison is the destination
    Hey, in Walla
    I'll see you in Walla Walla
    Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time

    In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
    Rehabilitate with all the others, oh
    Well, I'll see ya

    I'm innocent, I didn't do it
    I didn't do nothing, man
    This is bullshit
    He just gave it to me, it-it was a present

    Ho ho, not this time my friend
    You'll be in lockdown by ten
    I'm afraid you can't talk your way out of this one, son
    Now four walls are your twenty-four hour a day, constant companions

    Hey, in Walla
    I'll see you in Walla Walla
    Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
    Hey, in Walla
    I'll see you in Walla Walla
    Folsom prison is the destination
    Hey, in Walla
    I'll see you in Walla Walla
    Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time

    In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
    Rehabilitate with all the others, oh
    Well, I'll see ya
    Well, I'll see ya
    Have a nice life Writer/s: Bryan Keith Holland
