25 Minutes to Go Shel Silverstein

They're buildin' the gallows outside my cell
I got twenty-five minutes to go

And in twenty-five minutes I'll be in Hell
I got twenty-four minutes to go

Well, they give me some beans for my last meal
Twenty-three minutes to go

And you know, nobody asked me how I feel
I got twenty-two minutes to go

So, I wrote to the Governor, the whole damned bunch
Ahhh, twenty-one minutes to go

And I call up the Mayor, and he's out to lunch

I got twenty more minutes to go

Well, the Sheriff says, "Boy, I wanna watch you die"
Nineteen minutes to go

I laugh in his face and I spit in his eye
I got eighteen minutes to go

Well I call out to the Warden to hear my plea
Seventeen minute to go
