Oh no, oh no

Oh no, oh no

Oh no, oh no

Oh no, oh no



Mr. Jones has a little problem

If I had eyes, I'd see that it was me

He's the size of a man with the potential of a boy

Not what God had made a child of His to be



I'm afraid that he'll amount to all of nothing

The joy of reading Yates, he'll never know

And in the rat race twirl of our computer guided world

He stands no chance of winning let alone to place or show



So, lock him up

Throw away the key, boys

Mr. Jones is not like you or me

Lock him up, tight



'Cuz if he had the chance he might

Show us that we're wrong

And that's the one thing we can't be

Oh no, oh no

Oh no, oh no



Mr. Jones wanted to be married

It seemed like such a cute thing at the time

Two peas in a pod, two of a kind

They'd never have to ask each other, "What is on your mind?"



It seemed a simple way to make him happy

And happy's such a simple way to be

And if they kept to themselves like two books upon a shelf

The kind you judge by the cover and never take the time to read



So, lock 'em up

Throw away the key, boys

The Joneses, they're not like you or me

Lock 'em up, tight



'Cuz if they had the chance they might

Show us that we're wrong

And that's the one thing we can't be

Oh no



Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones

We're elated to inform you

Though you've failed to meet the standards

We've a place where we'll reform you



It's a ways outside of town

But the distance has its uses

Close enough to make the effort

Far enough to make excuses



Lock 'em up

Throw away the key, boys

The Joneses, they're not like you or me

Lock 'em up, tight



'Cuz if they had the chance they might

Show us that we're wrong

And that's the one thing we can't be

Oh no, oh no

Oh no, oh no



Mrs. Jones wants to have a baby

She says, that as a woman it's her right

Yes, we tried to tell her, I guess that she forgot

When she and Mr. Jones were at the doctor's, tied the knot



Why can't she just be happy in her own world?

And we can all be happy here in ours

And we can still help out

Even go as far as to stop off at the safe

Way drop some pennies in the jar



So, lock her up

Throw away the key, boys

Mrs. Jones is not like you or me

Lock her up, tight



'Cuz if she had the chance she might

Show us that we're wrong

And that's the one thing we can't be



So, lock 'em up

Throw away the key, boys

The Joneses, they're not like you or me

Lock 'em up, tight



'Cuz if they had the chance they might

Show us that we're wrong

And that's the one thing we can't be

Oh no, oh no

Oh no, oh no

Oh no, oh no
