Vagabond Opera
Tango ’til They’re Sore
[Verse 1]
Well you play that tarantella, all the hounds begin to roar
The boys all go to hell and then the Cubans hit the floor
They crawl along the pipeline, they tango 'til they're sore
They tear apart their nightmares and they hang 'em by the door
[Chorus]
Just let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or better in a blanket by the stair
I tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
So send me off to bed forevermore
[Verse 2]
Just make sure they play my theme song, I guess daisies'll have to do
Just send me to New Orleans and hang shadows on the pews
Turn that pig on the spit, kick the drum and let me down
Put my clarinet beneath your bed 'til I get back in town
[Chorus]
Just let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or better in a blanket by the stair
I tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
So send me off to bed forevermore
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
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, and send me off to another town
[Chorus]
Just let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or better in a blanket by the stair
I tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
So send me off to bed forevermore
Just let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Oh eeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
So send me off to bed forevermore
Send me off to bed forevermore
Send me off to bed forevermore
