Swingin Party

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.

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.

Pound the prairie pavement, losing proposition,

quittin' school and goin' to work and never goin' fishing...

water all around; I never learned how to swim, now.

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...
