Lyrics

One two three I was all night long on the broken glass Livin in a medicine chest Mediterranean hotel back Sprawled across a roll top desk That old 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 coming home today! 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 trench coat Never drive a car when you're dead! Saturday's a festival, oh now Saturday's a jem Follow me to Beulah's on dry creek road I got to wear the hat that my baby done sewed Pow! [Saxophone Solo] 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 trench coat Never drive a car when you're dead! Saturday's a festival, Friday's a jam Dye your hair yellow man!! Follow me to Beulah's I just got to wear the hat that my baby done- Pow! [Guitar Solo] 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 trench coat Never drive a car when you're dead! Saturday's a festival, Friday's a gem Dye your hair yellow baby! Follow me to Beulah's I just got to wear the hat that my baby done sewed [Bass Breakdown] 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 trench coat Never drive a car when you're dead! Saturday's a festival, now Friday's just a gem sweetheart! Follow me to Beulah's on dry creek road I just got to wear the hat that my baby done- Pow! Pow! Pow!
