Tango Till They're Sore

Well, you play that Tarantella(2), all the hounds they 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(3) on a blanket by the stairs
 I'll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
 Send me off to bed forever more
 Make sure they play my theme song, I guess Daisies'll have to do(4)
 Just get me to New Orleans and paint shadows on the pews
 Turn the spit 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 all my secrets, but I lie about my past
 So send me off to bed forever more
 Just make sure she's all in calico(5) and the color of a doll
 Wave the flag on Cadillac Day and a skillet on the wall
 Cut me a switch, or hold your breath till the sun goes down
 Write my name on the hood, send me off to another town
 And 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 forever more
 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 forever more
 Send me off to bed forever more
 Send me off to bed forever more
