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
Bein' wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
Bein' strong's your kind, then I need help here with this feather
Bein' afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swinging party down the line
Pound the prairie pavement, losing proposition
Quittin' school and goin' to work and never goin' fishin'
Water all around, never learned how to swim now
If bein' wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
Bein' strong's your kind, then I need help here with this feather
If bein' afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swinging party down the line
At the swinging 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
Bein' wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
Bein' strong is what you want, then I need help here with this feather
Bein' afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swinging party down the line
At the swinging party down the line
