Lyrics

[Verse 1] All night long on the broken glass Livin' in a medicine chest Mediteromanian hotel back Sprawled across a roll top desk The monkey rode the blade on an overhead fan They paint the donkey blue if you pay I got a telephone call from Istanbul My baby's comin' home today [Chorus] Will you sell me one of those if I shave my head? "Get me out of town," is what Fireball said Never trust a man in a blue trenchcoat Never drive a car when you'rе dead Saturday's a festival, Friday's a gem Dyе your hair yellow and raise your hem Follow me to Beulah's on Dry Creek Road I got to wear the hat that my baby done sewed, woo [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Will you sell me one of those if I shave my head? "Get me out of town," is what Fireball said Never trust a man in a blue trenchcoat Never drive a car when you're dead Saturday's a festival, Friday's a gem Dye your hair yellow and raise your hem Follow me to Beulah's on Dry Creek Road I got to wear the hat that my baby done sewed [Verse 2] Well, take me down to buy a tux on Red Rose Bear I got to cut a hole in the day I got a telephone call from Istanbul My baby's comin' home today [Chorus] Sell me one of those if I shave my head "Get me out of town," is what Fireball said Never trust a man in a blue trenchcoat Never drive a car when you're dead Saturday's a festival, Friday's a gem Dye your hair yellow and raise your hem Follow me to Beulah's on Dry Creek Road I got to wear the hat that my baby done sewed, woo
