Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
If being wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
If being strong's your kind, I need help here with this feather
[Instrumental]
If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin' party down the line
[Instrumental]
Pound the prairie pavement, losing proposition
Quittin' school and going to work and never going fishing
Water all around, never learn how to swim now
[Chorus]
If being wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
If being strong's your kind, then, I need help here with this feather
[Instrumental]
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
[Instrumental]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]
If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin' party down the line
Everything in time
At the swingin' party down the line
Catch the time
At the swingin' party down the line
