| am | |
| Edna Millon in a drop dead suit |
| E7 | |
| Dutch pink in a | downtown train |
| Two dollar pistol, but the gun won't shoot |
| am | |
| I'm in the corner in the | pouring rain |
| 16 men on a deadman's chest |
| E7 | |
| And I've been drinking from a | broken cup |
| Two pair of pants and a mohair vest |
| am | |
| I'm full of burbon; I | can't stand up |
| dm | am | |
| Hey little bird, fly | away home |
| E7 | am | |
| Your | house is on fire; | your children are alone |
| dm | am | |
| Hey little bird, fly | away home |
| E7 | am | |
| Your | house is on fire; | your children are alone |
| Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgans head |
| And I've been stepping on the devils tail |
| Across the stripes of a full moons head |
| Through the bars of a Cuban jail |
| Bloody fingers on a purple knife |
| A flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass |
| I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife |
| Come admire the view from upon the top of the mast |
| Chorus |
| Yellow sheets in a Hong Kong bed |
| Stayzbo horn and a Singerland slide |
| To the carnival is what she said |
| A hundred dollars makes it dark inside |
| 16 men on a deadman's chest |
| And I've been drinking from a broken cup |
| Two pair of pants and a mohair vest |
| I'm full of burbon; I can't stand up |
