Lyrics to the original song

Quick Joey Small went over the wall
With a ball and a chain behind him
Quick Joey Small went over the wall
Send the dogs right out to find him!

In a striped prison suit with no loot to boot
He headed for the highway
With his chain metal draggin he thumbed down a wagon
"Say, friend, are you goin my way?"

Run, Joey! Joey, run, run! The hounds are on your trail
Run, Joey! Joey, run, run! They're gonna send you back to jail

Sheriff got a shotgun (he do!)
He'll fill you full of lead son (it's true!)
He also got a blackjack (he's mad!)
He'll bust your head with one whack (that's bad!)

Sweet Mary Jane was going insane
When she heard of Joey's jail break
But she knew all the while cause she sent him a file
Baked inside a fudge cake

Sheriff Jack Bains was light on brains
But he knew one thing for sure
He took some toughs and a pair of handcuffs
And headed straight for Mary Jane's door

I'm going to have to find the original to make any sort of informed comment.
On the uninformed side that was fast,furious & fun. Chase/seduction music for a "zany" exploitation flick.

Here ya go...

Thanks, Ray.

Note re: my take:

I really need to not upload these things late at night! This morning I listened on a different sound system and heard the bass was way loud, yikes. I turned it down and reuploaded; it should really be replaced with a better part.

Or played, I could actually play it, people play basses, right?

Hey that's FONKY... Luv it.
Make up somethin' and sang it...

Some day, sir. I'm secretly thinking of considering possibly working my way up to it. Thanks.

It's like a funky video game when you're on a roll and racking up a high score...

Phew! Phew! Phew!

Fun song.

Thanks, David. Amazing what one can do with an arpeggiator, I wish I had half the energy this little thing does.
