Artist/Band: Anita O'Day
Lyrics for Song: That's Your Red Wagon
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Anita O'Day



If you wanna go crazy, be the clown


Be the laughing stock all over town


That's your red wagon


That's your red wagon


So just keep draggin' your red wagon along





If you stick your nose someplace it don't belong


Doncha come to me if things go wrong


That's your red wagon


That's your red wagon


So just keep draggin your red wagon along





When you're making your bed, don't forget who'll do the lyin' there


And when you butter your bread


Don't expect me to eat your share





If you wanna play the horses


Doncha come to me if they don't show


That's your red wagon, that's your red wagon


So just keep draggin your red wagon along





Now you've finally learned you'll get burned if you play with fire


So don't come runnin to me you can't use me for your spare tire





If you wanna sing me love songs, don't know my key


Don't you come singin' the blues to me





That's your red wagon, oh, that's your red wagon


So just keep draggin your red wagon along





That's your red wagon, your red wagon,

oh, your red wagon, yea, your red wagon


So just keep draggin your red wagon along


That's Your Red Wagon
