Tango ’til They’re Sore Songtext
von Vagabond Opera

When you play the Tarantella the hounds begin to roar
The boys all go to Hell and then the Cubans hit the floor
They crawl along the pipeline
They tango ′til they're sore
They tear apart their nightmares and they hang ′em by the door

Just let me fall out of a window with confetti in my hair
Deal out jacks or better in a blanket by the stair
I tell you all my secrets
But I lie about my past
So send me off to bed forevermore

Just make sure they play my theme song
I guess daisies'll have to do
Just send me to New Orleans and hang shadows on the pew
Turn that pig on the spit
Kick the drum and let me down
Put my clarinet beneath your bed 'til I get back in town


Just let me fall out of a window with confetti in my hair
Deal out jacks or better in a blanket by the stair
I tell you all my secrets
But I lie about my past
So send me off to bed forevermore

Just make sure she′s all in calico
The color of a doll
Wave the flag on Cadillac day
And a skillet on the wall
Cut me a switch on your breath ′til sun goes down
Write my name on the hood and send me off to another town

Just let me fall out of a window with confetti in my hair
Deal out jacks or better in a blanket by the stair
I tell you all my secrets
But I lie about my past
So send me off to bed forevermore

Just let me fall out of a window with confetti in my hair
Ah-hiee!
I tell you all my secrets
But I lie about my past
So send me off to bed forevermore
Send me off to bed forevermore
Send me off to bed forevermore
