Well you play that Tarantella, all the hounds will start to roar The boys all go to hell 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 And 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 Turn the spit on that pig and kick the drum that 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 So send me off to bed forevermore Just make sure she's all in calico and the color of a doll Leave the flag on Cadillac, they ain't a skillet on the wall Cut me a switch, oh, hold your breath 'till the sun goes down Write my name on the hood, send me off to another town Then just 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 Will you send me off to bed forevermore? 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 Send me off to bed forevermore
