Blues Brothers - Riot in Cell Block Number Nine lyrics

On July the 2nd, 1963
I serving time for armed robbery
4 o'clock in the morning, I was sleepin' in my cell
I heard a whistle blow, I heard somebody yell

There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block no. 9

The trouble started in cell block no. 4
It spread like fire across the prison floor
I said, "Come on boys, get ready to run
Here comes the warden with a Tommy gun"

There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block no. 9

The warden saidBlues Brothers - Riot in Cell Block Number Nine - http://motolyrics.com/blues-brothers/riot-in-cell-block-number-nine-lyrics.html
"Come out with your hands up in the air
If you don't stop the riot
You're all gonna get the chair"
Scarface Jones said, "It's too late to quit
Pass the dynamite, 'cause the fuse is lit"

There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block no. 9

The 92nd hour, the tear gas got our men
Crawled in our cells, but every now and then

There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block
Up in cell block
Up in cell block no. 9
