You say, I?m no good dear
You know, I don?t belong here
When people talk of Clayton Brown and his days in Rockview Penn
Head to toe he?d been tattooed with the places he had been
He had three wives in Utah stole lobster traps in Maine
Smoked cigarettes and fenced corvettes once even robbed a train
The warden?s wife loved Clayton brown she tried to keep it all inside
Warden had one of them genuine Russian mail order brides
The warden burned with jealousy told the convicts all around
?A pardon for the son of a bitch that brings me Clayton Brown!?
Clayton brown had to escape he was as good as dead for sure
Said ?I enjoyed the food, but the staff was rude, don?t wanna come back no more?
With a little help from the Russian girl he busted out one night
He stole the clothes off of a priest who was givin out last rights
Then the warden went insane they say, that rainy night years ago
Opened up the prison gates and let all the convicts go
Warden stood up in the tower with a bullhorn shouted down,
?I set you loose you filthy dogs now find me Clayton Brown!?
You say, I?m no good dear
You know, I don?t belong here
CHORUS
and you know, I gotta get out
I can?t stay here for 25 years
I can?t be your man, while doin time
So I?m gone--Think it?s time for a prison break
Clayton and the Russian ran from that iron hell
All night the convicts chased them and all night the rain fell
At a circus passing through the town the Russian girl had kin
They hid inside the circus tent, but the convicts chased them in
Now the inmates with their homemade knives fought clowns of every shape and size
Battle ragin in there and Clayton was the prize
You may think you?ve seen a lot of fights you may have been around
But boy you never seen a fight like the one for Clayton brown
P.t. Barnum would have sure been proud as every man, woman and child
watched the fight in the big top rage and man the crowd went wild
Lions roaring men a yelling, such sight you never saw
What they had was a one of a kind three ringed brouhaha
Blood did flow was quite a show for everyone to see
The strongman he took on death row and the midgets cell block c
He put the Russian girl on his shoulder and rode an elephant out of town
To this very day or so folks say they?re chasin Clayton Brown
You say, I?m no good dear
You know, I don?t belong here
CHORUS
