Lyrics
Ducktail Jiver
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Loose lips keep him rolling on his whitewall tires
Burning out his diesel now, looking like a forest fire
Ducktail jiver, common pearl diver
Let you have a piece real cheap
Those Sunday sermons, gotta start learning
How to look before the lion leaps
Oh I'd be Santa Clause in something more
Than a honeymoon in San Moritz
Ducktail jiver, nine to fiver
I'd like to buy a _____ that fits
Overloaded, railroaded
On the border of a Spanish town
Adios amigos, me got to go
Before they cut this poor boy down
So I'd like to buy a drink for someone
A pitcher and a glass
My circuit's run down, my fuse is blown
My childhood came at last
Sun-soaked, rain-choked
I need to get this battery charged
Miles behind my parents' time
Living in the world's back yard
