Tango Till They’re Sore

Lyrics

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 till they're sore
 They take apart their nightmares
 And they leave 'em 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 stair
 I'll tell you all my secrets, but I'll lie about my past
 So 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 the 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
 I deal out jacks or better on a blanket by the stairs
 I'll tell you all my secrets, but I'll lie about my past
 So send me off to bed forevermore
 ♪
 Yes, she'll be all in calico
 Or the color of a doll
 I wave your flag on Cadillac Bay
 Hang a skillet on the wall
 Cut me a switch
 Oh, hold your breath till 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
 I deal out jacks or better on a blanket by the stair
 I'll tell you all my secrets but I'll lie about my past
 So send me off to bed forevermore
 Send me off to bed forevermore
 
 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 till they're sore
 They take apart their nightmares
 And they leave 'em 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 stair
 I'll tell you all my secrets, but I'll lie about my past
 So 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 the 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
 I deal out jacks or better on a blanket by the stairs
 I'll tell you all my secrets, but I'll lie about my past
