A little boy knocked at the warden's door of Sing Sing then in tears
Said sir I understand that 8-3-9-6-8 lives here
Well that's my daddy sir and I just got to be near him
If you can't let him out you just got to let me in
Let me in let me in 8-3-9-6-8's my dad
I watched them bury my momma and now he's all in the world I have
I can break your little rocks put a hammer in my hand
I just gotta be near daddy mister warden let me in
Well I've checked through California Alcatraz out on the Rock
From Folsom onto Leavenworth and no one had my pop
Then I found the old news clipping in my mommas souvenirs
And here I am at Sing Sing 8-3-9-6-8 lives here
Let me in let me in 8-3-9-6-8's my dad
I watched them bury my momma and now he's all in the world I have
I can break your little rocks put a hammer in my hand
I just gotta be near daddy mister warden please let me in
