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

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

[2. vers ]
Pound thе prairie pavement, losing proposition
Quitting school and going to work and nеver going fishing
Water all around, never learn how to swim, now

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

[Mellomspill]

[3. vers]
Bring your own lampshade, somewhere, there's a party
Here, it's never ending, can't remember when it started
Pass around the lampshade, there'll be plenty enough room in jail
[Refreng]
If being wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
If being strong is what you want
Then, I need help here with this feather
If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin' party, down the line

[Outro]
Everything in time
At the swingin' party, down the line
Catch the time
At the swingin' party, down the line
