Tango Till They’re Sore

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 until they are 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 stairs

I'll tell you about all my secrets, but I'll lie about my past

So send me off to bed for evermore

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

Cut the skin on that pig, kick the drum, and 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 about all my secrets, but I'll lie about my past

So send me off to bed for evermore

Yes, she'll be all in calico and the color of a doll

Wave your flag on Cadillac Day, hang a skillet on the wall

Cut me a switch or hold your breath until the sun goes down

Write my name 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 stairs

I'll tell you about all my secrets, but I'll lie about my past

So send me off to bed for evermore

Send me off to bed for evermore
