TANGO TILL THEY'RE SORE TOM WAITS
Dm
Well ya play that tarantella
Bb
All the hounds will start to roll
A
The boys all go ta hell
Dm
And then the Cubans hit the floor
Dm
And they drive along the pipeline
Bb
They tango 'till they're sore
A
They take apart their nightmares
Dm
And they leave 'em by the door
Chorus:
Gm
Let me fall out of the window
A
With confetti in my hair
Dm
Deal out Jacks or better
Gm
On a blanket by the stairs
A
I’ll tell you all my secrets
Dm
But I lie about my past
Bb A Dm
So send me off to bed for evermore
Verse 2:
Make sure they play my theme song
I guess daisy's will have to do
Just get me to New Orleans
And paint shadows on the pews
Turn the spit on that pig
And kick the drum and let me down
Put my clarinet beneath my bed
Till I get back in town
Chorus
Just make sure she's all in calico
In the colour of a doll
Wave the flag on Cadillac day
And a skillet on the wall
Cut me a switch
Or hold your breath till the sun goes down
Write my name on the hood
Send me off to another town
Chorus ( x 2 )
