Convicts
Gotta sing, sing!
Gotta sing, sing!

Alright, you animals, from the top!

Prisoners of love
Blue skies above

Can't keep our hearts in jail
Prisoners of love
Our turtle doves
Soon coming 'round with bail
Oh, you can lock us up and lose the key
But hearts in love are always free
Prisoners of love
Blue skies above
'Cause we're still prisoners
We're still prisoners
We're still prisoners of love
Tempo, fellas! Pick up the tempo!
That's it!
OK,
Just the murderers!
Hey, you, the warden wants to get in on this thing.
Tell the warden he now owns 100% of "Prisoners of Love." / Thank you.
Sing on, fellas!
Let 'em hear you in solitary!

Take it home, boys.
We open in Leavenworth on Saturday night!

Hey, Bialystock, Bloom, Liebkind, good news! This just came from the governor:
"Gentlemen, you are hereby granted a full pardon for having - through song and dance - brought joy and laughter into the hearts of every murderer, rapist and sex maniac in Sing Sing." You're free!
Free!
Next stop, "Prisoners of Love" on Broadway!

Convicts
But hearts in love are always free!

Ulla
Got to sing sing! Sing sing!

Ulla and female prisoners
Prisoners of love
Blue skies above
Can't keep our hearts in jail!

Roger
Can't keep our hearts in jail!

Ulla and female prisoners
Prisoners of love
Our turtle doves

Roger
Soon coming 'round with bail

Ulla and female prisoners
Tote that bale!

Male prisoners
You can lock us up and lose the key

All
But hearts in love are always free!
Prisoners of love
Blue skies above
'Cause we're still prisoners
We're still prisoners
We're still prisoners of love!
Love! Love! Love! Love!
Love! Love! Love! Love! Love! Love! Love!
Love!
