LYRICS: When I play that tarantella, 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 'til they're sore
They take apart their nightmares and they leave them by the door
I’ll crawl 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 for evermore

Just 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 me a switch or hold your breath 'til the sun goes down
Write my name on the hood, send me off to another town,
And I’ll crawl 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 for evermore

Just make sure she's all in calico and the color of a doll
Wave the flag on Cadillac day, and a skillet on the wall
Cut me a switch, hold your breath 'til the sun goes down
Write my name on the hood, send me off to another town,
Throw me out 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
Just send me off to bed for evermore
Just send me off to bed for evermore
Just send me off to bed for evermore
Just send me off to bed for evermore
