Em Am B7 Em [Verse 1] Well ya play that tarantellaAm All the hounds will start to rollB7 The boys all go ta hellEm And then the Cubans hit the floor And they drive along the pipelineAm They tango 'till they're soreB7 They take apart their nightmaresEm And they leave 'em by the door [Chorus]Am Let me fall out of the windowB7 With confetti in my hairEm Deal out Jacks or betterAm On a blanket by the stairsB7 I’ll tell you all my secretsEm But I lie about my pastAm B7 Em So send me off to bed for ever more [Verse 2] Make sure they play my theme songContinues after the adAm I guess daisies will have to doB7 Just get me to New OrleansEm And paint shadows on the pews Turn the spit on that pigAm And kick the drum and let me downB7 Put my clarinet beneath my bedEm Till I get back in town [Chorus]Am Let me fall out of the windowB7 With confetti in my hairEm Deal out Jacks or betterAm On a blanket by the stairsB7 I’ll tell you all my secretsEm But I lie about my pastAm B7 Em So send me off to bed for ever more [Verse 3] Just make sure she's all in calicoAm In the color of a dollB7 Wave the flag on Cadillac dayEm And a skillet on the wall Cut me a switchAm Or hold your breath till the sun goes downB7 Write my name on the hoodEm Send me off to another town [Chorus]Am Let me fall out of the windowB7 With confetti in my hairEm Deal out Jacks or betterAm On a blanket by the stairsB7 I’ll tell you all my secretsEm But I lie about my pastAm B7 Em So send me off to bed for ever moreAm Let me fall out of the windowB7 With confetti in my hairEm Deal out Jacks or betterAm On a blanket by the stairsB7 I’ll tell you all my secretsEm But I lie about my pastAm B7 Em So send me off to bed for ever more
