Lyrics:

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, 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, never learn 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
Everything in time
At the swingin' party, down the line
Catch the time
At the swingin' party, down the line
