Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, the dog act got drunk again last night The king and queen of the waltz clog team had another fight The king was careless with his tango grip Nearly lost his queen in a dip Yeah, she righted herself Straightened out her slip and kicked him in the shin Miss Billy Begonia thinks she's hit the big time She wants a thick red rug from the dressing room door To the front-line of the footlights She's got a sky blue swan's down powder puff And a corset to keep her spirits up Yeah, she don't sweat She sours and melts like ice cream in the sun She'll be out of a job at the end of this three-week run [Chorus] We're having fun out here on Panic Beach All the vaudeville bums are here out on Panic Beach I hear them talk about the palace but it's so far out of reach So I'll do my time, then say goodbye to Panic Beach, yeah Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye [Verse 2] The visionary theatric strikes a juggler's seesaw tune And the dying swan pirouettes and fawns By the light of the street lamp moon When my trunk is filled with taffeta Those big time hacks won't laugh at us When my taps are made of silver, I could make the kiddies thrill for just one buck and wing, ha Yeah, I will nail them to my heel and the panic choir sings [Chorus] Here comes a lucky little thing to Panic Beach Yeah, you know we got to teach him how to sing while we're stuck on Panic Beach Hey, we hear them say, doesn't seem so outta reach So I'll do my time, then say goodbye to Panic Beach, yeah Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Well, the landlord gets a free show every Saturday at six Sometimes on a Sunday All dependin' on whatever kinda mood he's in I keep his glass filled up with sherry And sing him all his favorite songs If a tear comes to his eye he may let a month go by Before he takes away my key Oh, that sherry starts to taste real good to me [Chorus] Hey mama, look at me on Panic Beach I may be hungry but my rent is free up on Panic Beach Now I can almost see the palace no longer out of reach So I'll do my time, then say goodbye to Panic Beach, yeah Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, I, I, I [Outro] Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, I-I, yeah Oh, good', good', good', good', good', good', oh-yeah Baby, let me go I may be hungry but my rent is free, yeah Hey, hey, everything, mama Mama, mama, mama, look at me Oh, mama, mama, mama, look at me, yeah But I'm stuck, but when I'm stuck up here Ooh, but I'm stuck up here, okay Ooh, okay, okay, okay, baby Oh, yeah
