Loose lips keep him rolling on his whitewall tires

Burning out his diesel now, looking like a forest fire

Ducktail jiver, common pearl diver

Let you have a piece real cheap

Those Sunday sermons, gotta start learning

How to look before the lion leaps



Oh I'd be Santa Clause in something more

Than a honeymoon in San Moritz

Ducktail jiver, nine to fiver

I'd like to buy a _____ that fits



Overloaded, railroaded

On the border of a Spanish town

Adios amigos, me got to go

Before they cut this poor boy down



So I'd like to buy a drink for someone

A pitcher and a glass

My circuit's run down, my fuse is blown

My childhood came at last



Sun-soaked, rain-choked

I need to get this battery charged

Miles behind my parents' time

Living in the world's back yard
