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 servin’ 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, losin’ 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 servin’ 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 servin’ 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
