Jail Bait - Andy Williams

I’m running

Yes before it’s too late

Trying to get away

From that jail bait

It’s a rough temptation

But a common invitation

And a good association

But a quck elimination

That will take you out of circulation

Yes I’m talking about that younger generation

So take my advice fellas

For goodness sake

15, 16, 17 that’s jail bait

Now they swear that they’re in love

That you and her got stars above

And she’s lookin mighty good

Just like a young girl should

Well we try to tell ya no And let that young girl go But you you know it all

You have yourself a ball

And now that it’s too late

As you look from cell number eight

I tried to tell yo old mate

17 and one-half is still jail bait

So tomorrow’s the date

For the trial of jail bait

And this you watch and see

The young girl will go free

And you’ll get one to three

So out the door she walks

To another man she talks

Before you can count

From one to eight

Another man in for

Jail bait.

Please mister judge

If you just let me go this time

I won’t mess with them young girls no more

I swear I’m not gonna bother them no more Mister Judge

I ain’t gonna bother none fifteen

I ain’t gonna bother none sixteen

I ain’t gonna bother none seventeen

I ain’t gonna mess with none eighteen

I’m gonna leave them twenty-year-old ones alone too

Gonna get me a girl about forty-two

If you just believe what I say and let me go Mister Judge

Please Mister Judge I ain’t gonna bother then young girls no more

Gimme a break Mister Judge

Please Mister Judge
