I’m trying to organize a prison break. I’m looking for, like, an accomplice. We have to first get out of this bar, then the hotel, then the city, and then the country. Are you in or you out?

Well Spider Murphy played on the saxophone,  
Little Joe was blowin’ on the slide trombone.  
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,  
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.  
Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock.  
Everybody in the whole cell block  
Was dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock.

These are the saddest of possible words:  
“Tinker to Evers to Chance.”  
Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds,  
Tinker and Evers and Chance.  
Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble,  
Making a Giant hit into a double  
Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble:  
“Tinker to Evers to Chance.”
