Lyrics

That can't be right That's somebody that's chewing gum and playing his harmonica Who let him in? 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 tangle 'til they're sore They take apart their nightmares and they leave them by the door So let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair And deal out Jacks or better on a blanket by the stairs And I'll tell you all my secrets but I lie about my past So send me off to bed forevermore Just make sure they play my theme song I guess daisies will have to do Just get me down 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 will tell you all my secrets but I lie about my past So send me off to bed forevermore Mercy! Just make sure she's all in calico and the color of a dog Waves a flag on Cadillac day and a skillet on the wall Cut me a switch, hold your breath 'til the sun goes down Write my name on the hood, send me off to another town And just let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair You can deal out Jacks or better on a blanket by the stairs I will tell you all my secrets, baby, but I lie about my past Send me off to bed forevermore Lord, 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 Send me off to bed forevermore You better send me off to bed forevermore Oh, we're in the groove now, baby
