Blues Brothers The Riot In Cell Block Number Nine Lyrics

Riot In Cell Block Number Nine Lyrics

It was december the sixth 1983

 I was doin' time for armed robbery

 At four in the morning, i was sitting in my cell

 I heard a whistle blow, and i heard somebody yell

 

 

 There's a riot going on

 There's a riot going on

 There's a riot going on

 Up in cell block number nine

 

 

 Our warden said come out with your hands up in the air

 If you don't stop this riot you're all gonna get the chair

 And scarface jones said it's too late to quit

 Pass the dynamite, don't you give me any shit

 

 

 There's a riot going on

 There's a riot going on

 There's a riot going on

 Up in cell block number nine

 

 

 On the 47th hour the nerve gas got our men

 We're all back in our cells but every now and then

 

 

 There's a riot going on

 There's a riot going on

 There's a riot going on

 Up in cellblock number nine

 Up in cellblock number nine

 Up in cellblock number nine
