Lyrics
Swingin' Party
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.
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 swinging party down the line
Pound the prairie pavement
Losing proposition
Quitting school and going to work
And never going fishing
Water all around
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 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
If being wrong’s a crime
I’m serving forever
If being strong’s 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 swinging party down the line
At the swinging party down the line
