Well ya play that Tarantella

All the hounds they start to roar

And the boys all go to hell

Then the Cubans hit the floor

And they drive along the pipeline

They tango till they're sore

They take apart their nightmares

And they leave them by the door

Chorus:

Let me fall out the window

With confetti in my hair

Deal out jack or better

On a blanket by the stairs

I'll tell you all my secrets

But 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 Orleans

And paint shadows on the pews

Turn the spit on that pig

Kick the drum and let me down

Put my clarinet beneath your bed

Till I get back in town.

Chorus

Just sure she's all in calico

And the colour of a doll

Wave the flag on cadillac day

And a skillet on the wall

Cut me a switch or hold your breath

Till the sun goes down

Write my name on the hood

Send me off to another town
