Can someone explain this to me??

In song writing, alliteration trumps grammar.

I prefer the one about Newport

That tickled me (and you can’t beat a Thursday morning tickle)

It’s ambiguous but I can live with that. Better than lazy lyrics. Eg Tonight there’s gonna be a jail break. Somewhere in this town. Erm… let’s think.

I used to think the same as you, until someone pointed out that there could be more than one jail in the town, hence the ambiguity.

I reckon the police and jail staff could cover this.

Maybe, but where's the alliteration in those lyrics?
