 (Intro: )
  All  the prophets of doom
  can always find room
  In a world full of worry  and fear
  Tip  cigarettes  and chemistry sets
  And rudolph  the red-nosed reindeer
  So I'm goin back  to my little old shack
  And drink me  a bottle  of wine
  That was mis en bouteille  before my birthday
  And have me a fuckin' good time
  Rain  on a tin roof sounds  like a drum
  We're marching  for freedom today  yeay
  Turn  on your headlights and sound  your horn
  If people  get in the way
  (Instr. )
  Let  me turn you on  to the chromium swan
  On the nose of a long  limousine
  Even hired for the day  it is something to  say
  But what the hhehhellll does it mean
  I may be accused  of being confused
  But I'm average weight  for my height
  My philosophy  like color tv
  Is all there in black and white
  RAI!  .. rain on a tin roof sounds  like a drum
  We're marching  for freedom today  yeay!
  Turn  on your headlights and sound  your horn
  If people  get in the way
 (Instrum. )
