Well you play that tarantella, all the hounds will start to roar
The boys all go to heaven and then the Cubans hit the floor
They drive along the pipeline, they tango till they're sore
They take apart their nightmares and they leave 'em 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
Send me off to bed forevermore
Make sure they play my theme song, I guess daisies will have to do
Just get me to New Orleans and paint shadows on the pews
Put a spit on that pig, kick the drum, let me down
Put my clarinet beneath your bed till 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
Send me off to bed forevermore
Send me off to bed forevermore
Make sure she's all in Calico and the color of a doll
Put a flag on Cadillac Day, a skillet on the wall
Cut me a switch, hold your breath till the sun goes down
Write my name on the hood, send me off to another town
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
Send me off to bed forevermore
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
Send me off to bed forevermore
