Tango Till They’re Sore
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
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
