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

Never learn 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

At the swingin' party down the line



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 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

At the swingin' party down the line

Everything in time

At the swingin' party down the line

Catch you down

At the swingin' party down the line
