Midnight, drunk tank, Saturday night,
Bodies strewn everywhere after a fight,
Could'a been five but it might'a been more,
Kinda hard to tell from the mess on the floor,
Cops tried countin' up but all they could do,
Was to total the legs then divide it by two.
Drunk tank Annie,
Queen of the holding cell,
Drunk tank Annie,
Gonna be raisin' hell,
Cross her if you're dumb or you gotta death wish,
She fight like a tiger and she drink like a fish.
A ways down the hall in a cell on her own,
Angry woman growls like a dog with a bone,
Yellin' at the jailer to unlock all the doors,
Lookin' for another shot at settlin' scores,
Business to be done with a number of men...
"Let 'em out dude, I wanna punch 'em again!!"
Drunk tank Annie,
Queen of the holding cell,
Drunk tank Annie,
Gonna be raisin' hell,
Cross her if you're dumb or you gotta death wish,
She fight like a tiger and she drink like a fish.
Some people say it's a powerful shame,
Some too scared to even mention her name,
She don't give a damn if you figure she's strange,
She is who she is and she ain't gonna change,
Me? I tend to find that the sensible play,
Is to buy her a whiskey then get out of her way.
