Fred Neil - Dade County Jail lyrics

You know, Dade County Jail Is nine stories tall I say Dade County Jail Is nine stories tall Air conditioned from wall to wall Still they can't find a bed for No they can't find a bed For juvenile Hall Now the building was built For just fifty two To one hundred and twenty now My how they grew Governor Foss Bryant Now, what you gonna do When they can't find a bed For Juvenile Hall I say Dade County Jail Is nine stories tall now Air conditioned from wall to wall They're not even usin' Three floors at all Still they can't find a bed for No they can't find a bed For Juvenile Hall Now, I've seen your courthouse With its big shiny doors I've seen your church windows Costin' thousands or more But I've never seen Children sleepin' on floors Still they can't flnd a bed for No, they can't find a bed For Juvenlle Hall Hey there, all you mothers Your good City Fathers Aren't even good brothers When they can't find a bed for No, they can't find a bed For Juvenile Hall I've seen your Torch of Friendship In Bay Front Park How can you speak of friendship With your chlldren in the dark They got a park For fhe senior citlzen's ball They can't find a bed for. No, they can't find a bed For Juvenile Hall I say Dade County Jail Can't find a bed for Juvenile Hall
