BLANCHE: We can't spend our whole lives hiding, Buck That ain't no way to live It is time to wipe the slate clean Ask the good Lord to forgive (praise the lord) You've got to serve your sentence without fail Buck, you are join' back to jail.
BUCK (spoken): What the hell are you talkin about?!
BLANCHE: Won't be scared to turn a corner (that's right) or to open our front door When you're on the side of justice you ain't nervous of the law Now pull yourself together because you've gone pale Buck you are goin' back to jail.
BUCK (spoken): Baby, you don't know what it's like in there!
BLANCHE: I know it's hard to share a cell When you've got nothin' to look at except prisoners who smell But when you're done when you have served your time We'll still be young and in our prime
BUCK: Ain't been free more than a minute Ain't had time to change my shirt I been dreamin' of a hot meal with you as my dessert Bring your face close to mine and just let me inhale
BLANCHE: Buck you are goin' back to jail.
BUCK (spoken): Now baby-
BLANCHE (spoken): We will call the sheriff and tell him you are turning yourself in right after church tomorrow.
BUCK (spoken): Blanche-
BLANCHE (spoken): It's gonna be just as hard on me, daddy, well, Stella, you know what it's like havin' a husband in jail, tell him how hard it is not havin' Carl around!
STELLA (spoken): Are you kiddin'?! (sung) It's a treat to get my nails done, and have time to read a book Sure beats washin' his long johns, it's a pleasure not to cook (Okay, that's enough) Thank God those prison walls are much too tall to scale My darlin's nice and safe in jail.
BUCK (spoken): I don't want her comin' 'round here no more.
BLANCHE (spoken): Well, Trish's husband's been in jail for two years now and she's miserable without her man!
TRISH (spoken): Mhmmm! (sung) At first I really missed him I thought I would waste away Then I met this boy from Tucson and he owned a Chevrolet (Oh no) He had a lot of things that my Joe lacked (Okay Trish) Like teeth and hair and cash to be exact (I think you're done) I now got lots of habits I can't curtail (Heavens to Betsy) I've got to keep him locked in jail
STELLA & TRISH: Keep 'em inside, keep 'em inside If we see 'em once a month we will be more than satisfied Ain't that the truth, don't mean to be unkind Can't put a price on peace of mind (Blanche!)
BLANCHE: I ain't like these other women I will wait till kingdom come I want the world to see that I ain't married to some bum (that's right) It will be hard for us but we'll come through
BUCK: I can't believe what you are askin' me to do
BLANCHE: One thing's for certain I don't want (Oh my Lord) (Jesus close your eyes)
