I went to see my girl last night, sweet darling little miss
We sat down in the parlour, and began to hug and kiss
The moon shon through the window, and the (____) are hanging low
And when I went to kiss my girl, her Pa stepped through the door

And he caught us doing it hey hey
Caught us doing it hey hey hey
Caught us doing it
Doing what?
Caught us making love

Me and my girl went out one night, walking in the park
My feeling seemed to tell me, to kiss her in the dark
I put my arms around her, I pressed her lips to mine
Big policeman shined his light, chill went through my spine

And he caught us doing it hey hey
Caught us doing it hey hey hey
Caught us doing it
Doing what?
Caught us making love

Ah chill run down your spine eh?
Do he didn't do that
I'll tell you what he did do
What did he do?

They took me to the county jail, and put me in the cell
They said don't worry about the trail, the judge will treat you well
This morning when I come to trial, the judge was feeling fine
He said I'm gonna be right on you, I'm gonna give you 99

And now I'm doing it hey hey
And now I'm doing it hey hey hey
And now I'm doing it. doing what?
Now I'm doing time

Eh you're doing time now eh?
He aught to give you 199

Hey!
