Topic: Song From the movie 'Stir Crazy'

The song I'm looking for is from the movie 'Stir Crazy' starring Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. They're sent to prison via mistaken identity and get placed in a cell with the biggest, meanest looking inmate in the prison. They end up becoming friends with the guy( Grossburger ) and tame him. He sang a beautiful song, acapella, and for the life of me the lyrics escape me but the melody is stuck in my head. Any takers on this one?

Peace and Guitars,

Give everything but up.

Re: Song From the movie 'Stir Crazy'

I'm looking for a tab (or a piano score) for the theme song from Stir Crazy: Who needs hollywood? Give me a town like old New York.
