Well ya play that TarantellaAll the hounds they start to roar
And the boys all go to hellThen the Cubans hit the floor
And they drive along the pipelineThey tango till they're sore
They take apart their nightmaresAnd they leave them by the door.
Chorus:
Let me fall out the windowWith confetti in my hair
Deal out jacks or betterOn a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secretsBut I lie about my past
So send me off to bed forever more.
Make sure they play my theme song
I guess daisies will have to do
Just get me to New OrleansAnd paint shadows on the pews
Turn the spit on that pigKick the drum and let me down
Put my clarinet beneath your bedTill I get back in town.
Chorus
Just sure she's all in calicoAnd the color of a doll
Wave the flag on cadillac dayAnd a skillet on the wall
Cut me a switch or hold you breathTill the sun goes down
Write my name on the hoodSend me off to another town.
</PRE>
Let me fall out the windowWith confetti in my hair
Deal out jacks or betterOn a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secretsBut I lie about my past So send me off to bed forever more.
