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
Quitting school and going
to work and never
going 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
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 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
At the swingin'
party down the line
