J-A-I-L

To the tune of YMCA -- The Village People YMCA sound file

Young man, did you blab the wrong name?
I said, young man, was it Valerie Plame?
I said young man, now you'll take the blame.
You are gonna be unhappy.
Young man, 'cause she was CIA,
I said young man, there's a place you can stay,
Stay there for free and I think you will see,
You will be under lock and key.

Karl Rove is going to J-A-I-L,
Karl Rove is going to J-A-I-L,
Drop the soap is a game he won't enjoy
When he hangs out with all of the boys.
Karl Rove is going to J-A-I-L,
Karl Rove is going to J-A-I-L.

You will wear prison blues, you'll be behind bars,
You won't be driving fancy cars.
Young man, are you looking at me?
I said young man, you are no longer free.
I said young man, you just gave up your dreams,
But you got to know this one thing:
You made it there all by yourself.
I said young man, put your ass on the line,
And go there to the J-A-I-L,
It'll be like you've gone to hell.

Karl Rove is going to J-A-I-L,
Karl Rove is going to J-A-I-L,
Drop the soap is a game he won't enjoy
When he hangs out with all of the boys.
Karl Rove is going to J-A-I-L,
Karl Rove is going to J-A-I-L.

You will get yourself reamed, you'll be unable to feel,
You will barely hear yourself squeal.
Young man, when you break the law,
I said young man, it'll be shock and awe,
I said young man, you're gonna feel raw,
And you will be unhappy,
Young man, you are going away,
I said young man, there's a place you can stay.
Live there for free and I think you will see,
They're gonna throw away the key.

Karl Rove is going to J-A-I-L,
Karl Rove is going to J-A-I-L,
Drop the soap is a game he won't enjoy
When he hangs out with all of the boys.
Karl Rove is going to J-A-I-L,
Karl Rove is going to J-A-I-L.
