I'm gonna drink more whiskey than Brendan Behan
I'm gonna send my belongings all to Tripoli
And I'm gonna ride home to California
With a banjo on my knee
I'm never gonna turn off the television
I'm just gonna let it run all night
I'm gonna plant root vegetables out in the back yard
And come summer, I am going to treat you right
So put on your Chairman Mao coat
And let me clear my throat
Let's turn this whole town upside down
Shake it 'til the coins come falling out of its pocket
Yeah, put on your Che Guevara pin
Call the troops on in
We're gonna sail through the night sky
Like a pair of bottle rockets
I got a great big secret written down somewhere
I got a rosary to protect us both from harm
I got a storage locker full of cow figurines
And a laundry list of grievances longer than my arm
And I am never going back to Cincinatti
All those bridges have been burned down to the ground
I got the jetpack strapped to my back
And I'm waiting for you to come around
Yeah, put on your Chairman Mao coat
And let me clear my throat
Let's turn this whole place upside down, yes
Shake it 'til the coins come falling out of its pockets
Yeah, put on your Che Guevara pin
Call the troops on in
We're gonna sail through the night sky
Like a pair of bottle rockets
