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(2)
 I got a telephone call from Istanbul
 My baby's comin' 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(3)
 Never drive a car when you're dead(4)
 
 Saturday's a festival, Friday's a gem
 Dye your hair yellow and raise your hem
 Follow me to Beulah's(5) on Dry Creek Road
 I got to wear the hat that my baby done sewed, whoo!

 I got to wear the hat that my baby done sewed
 
 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
 
 Sell me one of those if I shave my head
 Get me out of town, is what Fireball said
