Swingin' Party

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 swingin' party down the line

Pound the prairie pavement,
Losing proposition
Quitting school and going to work
And never going fishing
Water all around,
I 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 swingin' party down the line
At the swingin' 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 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 swingin' party down the line
At the swingin' party down the line
