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... at the swingin' party down the line. Bring your own lampshade - somewhere there's a party.
