Verse
[Dm]
Well ya play that Tarantella
[Bb]
All the hounds they start to roar
[A]
The boys all go to hell
[Dm]
And then the Cubans hit the floor
[Dm]
And they drive along the pipeline
[Bb]
They tango till they're sore
[A]
They take apart their nightmares
[Dm]
And they leave them by the door.
Chorus
[Gm]
Let me fall out the window
[A]
With confetti in my hair
[Dm]
Deal out jacks or better
[Gm]
On a blanket by the stairs
[A]
I'll tell you all my secrets
[Dm]
But I lie about my past
[Bb] [A] [Dm]
So send me off to bed forever more.
Verse
[Dm]
Make sure they play my theme song
[Bb]
I guess daisies will have to do
[A]
Just get me to New Orleans
[Dm]
And paint shadows on the pews
N.C.
Turn the spit on that pig
[Bb]
Kick the drum and let me down
[A]
Put my clarinet beneath your bed
[Dm]
Till I get back in town.
(Chorus)
Verse
[Dm]
Make sure she's all in calicko
[Bb]
And the color of a doll
[A]
Wave the flag on cadillac day
[Dm]
And a skillet on the wall
Cut me a switch,
[Bb]
And hold your breath, Till the sun goes down
[A]
Write my name on the hood
[Dm]
Send me off to another town.
(Chorus)
