Strum
D-DU-UDU
 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
