Up-the-river-holiday [?], up in Sing Sing
There are different records of this song and as far as I know, no version contains exactly the same lyrics. When I was listening to this live version, I heard the following sentence, which makes much more sense in my opinion: "I've been up the river, the place they call "sing sing".
