So here we a-are in the Tijuana Jail Ain't got no frie-ends to go our bail So here we'll sta-ay 芒'cause we can't pay Just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail (shout) Just five hundred dollars and they'll set us free (shouted excitement) I couldn't raise a penny if ya threatened me I know five "hunderd" don't sound like much But just try to find somebody to touch So here we are in the Tijuana Jail Ain't got no frie-ends to go our bail So here we'll sta-ay 芒'cause we can't pay Just send our mai-il to the Tijuana Jail So here we a-are in the Tijuana Ja-a-a-a-il Ain't got no frie-eh-ends to go our bail So here we'll sta-ay 芒'cause we can't pa-ay Just send our mai-il to the Tijuana Jail Transcribed by Ronald E.
