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

quitting school and going to work and never going 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

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
