A C E A A9 Asus4 A
You know, Dade County Jail is nine stories tall
A C E A A9 Asus4 A
I say Dade County Jail is nine stories tall
A C E A
Air conditioned from wall to wall
A C (riff) A C
Still they can’t find a bed for no they can’t find a bed
E A A9 Asus4 A
For juvenile Hall

Now the building was built for just fifty two
To one hundred and twenty now my how they grew
Governor Foss Bryant now, what you gonna do
When they can’t find a bed for Juvenile Hall

I say Dade County Jail is nine stories tall now
Air conditioned from wall to wall
They’re not even usin’ three floors at all
Still they can’t find a bed for no they can’t find a bed
For Juvenile Hall

Now, I've seen your courthouse with its big shiny doors
I've seen your church windows costin' thousands or more
But I've never seen children sleepin' on floors
Still they can't flnd a bed for no, they can't find a bed
For Juvenile Hall

Hey there, all you mothers
Your good City Fathers aren't even good brothers
When they can't find a bed for no, they can't find a bed
For Juvenile Hall

I've seen your Torch of Friendship in Bay Front Park
How can you speak of friendship with your chlldren in the dark
They got a park for the senior citizen's ball
They can't find a bed for.
No, they can't find a bed for Juvenile Hall

I say Dade County Jail...
Can't find a bed for Juvenile Hall
