Verse 1: Dm Well ya play that Tarantella A# All the hounds they start to roar A The boys all go to hell Dm And then the Cubans hit the floor And they drive along the pipeline A# They tango till they're sore A They take apart their nightmares Dm And they leave them by the door
Chorus: Gm Let me fall out the window A With confetti in my hair Dm Deal out jacks or better Gm On a blanket by the stairs A I'll tell you all my secrets Dm But I lie about my past A# A Dm So send me off to bed forever more. Verse 2: Dm Make sure they play my theme song A# I guess daisies will have to do A Just get me to New Orleans Dm And paint shadows on the pews Turn the spit on that pig A# Kick the drum and let me down A Put my clarinet beneath your bed Dm 'till I get back in town Chorus: Gm Let me fall out the window A With confetti in my hair Dm Deal out jacks or better Gm On a blanket by the stairs A I'll tell you all my secrets Dm But I lie about my past A# A Dm So send me off to bed forever more. Verse 3: Dm Make sure she's all in calico A# And the color of a doll A Wave the flag on cadillac day Dm And a skillet on the wall Cut me a switch, A# And hold your breath, 'till the sun goes down A Write my name on the hood Dm Send me off to another town Chorus: Gm Let me fall out the window A With confetti in my hair Dm Deal out jacks or better Gm On a blanket by the stairs A I'll tell you all my secrets Dm But I lie about my past A# A Dm So send me off to bed forever more A# A Dm Send me off to bed forever more A# A Dm
