Lyrics
well you play that tarantella and all the hounds, they start to roar, the boys all go to hell and then the cubans hit the floor, they climb along the pipeline, they tango til they're sore, they take apart their nightmares and they leave them by the door, oh, let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair, deal out jacks or better on a blanket by the stair, i'll tell you all my secrets but i'll lie about my past, so send my off to bed forevermore, make sure they play my theme song, i guess daisies'll have to do, just get me to new orleans and paint shadows on the pews, cut the skin on that pig, 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'll lie about my past, so send my off to bed forevermore, yes she'll be all in calico, or the color of a doll, i wave your flag on cadillac bay, hang a skillet on the wall, cut me a switch, oh, hold your breath til the sun goes down, write my name down on a 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 stair, i'll tell you all my secrets but i'll lie about my past, so send my off to bed forevermore, send me off to bed forevermore
