Well you play that tarantella all the hounds will start to roar
|
The boys all go to hell and then the Cubans hit the floor
|
They drive along the pipeline, they tango 'til they're sore
|
They take apart their nightmares and they leave them by the door
|
Let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
|
Deal out Jacks or Better on a blanket by the stairs
|
I'll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
|
And send me off to bed for evermore
|
|
Make sure they play my theme song, I guess Daisy will have to do
|
Just get me to New Orleans and paint shadows on the pews
|
Turn the spit on that pig and kick the drum and let me down
|
Put my clarinet beneath your bed 'til I get back in town
|
Let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
|
Deal out Jacks or Better on a blanket by the stairs
|
I'll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
|
So send me off to bed for evermore
|
|
Just make sure she's all in calico and the color of a doll
|
Wave the flag on Cadillac day, and a skillet on the wall
|
Cut me a switch or hold your breath 'til the sun goes down
|
Write my name on the hood, send me off to another town, and just
|
And just let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
|
Deal out Jacks or Better on a blanket by the stairs
|
Tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
|
Will you send me off to bed for evermore
|
|
Fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
|
Deal out Jacks or Better on a blanket by the stairs
|
I'll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
|
Send me off to bed for evermore, send me off to bed for evermore
|
