[Verse 1]
Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there's a party
Here it's never endin', can't remember when it started
Pass around the lampshade
There'll be plenty enough room in jail

[Chorus]
If bein' wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
If bein' strong's your kind
Then I need help here with this feather
If bein' afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin' party down the line
At the swingin' party down the line

[Verse 2]
Pound the prairie pavement, losin' proposition
Quittin' school and goin' to work and never goin' fishin'
Water all around, never learned how to swim now

[Chorus]
If bein' wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
If bein' strong's your kind
Then I need help here with this feather
If bein' afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin' party down the line
At the swingin' party down the line
[Verse 1]
Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there's a party
Here it's never endin', can't remember when it started
Pass around the lampshade
There'll be plenty enough room in jail

[Chorus]
If bein' wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
If bein' strong is what you want
Then I need help here with this feather
If bein' afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin' party down the line
At the swingin' party down the line
Catch you down at the swingin' party down the line
