ALCATRAZ

The last prisoners left Alcatraz in sixty three
I have no idea where they will end up to be
Some rapists are there and murderers too
Stay away from them is my advice to you 

I knew of a man who tried to make his escape 
Was sentenced to life for murder and rape 
Now he's free to leave as Alcatraz now closes
Surely his life should not be a bed of roses 

What secrets will remain behind Alcatraz walls
The agonies will be there together with the pitfalls 
Alcatraz is a place that starts with A ending in Z
Something to contemplate resting in your bed
