Commandante

[Verse 1] I'm gonna drink more whiskey than Brendan Behan I'm gonna send my belongings all to Tripoli and I'm gonna ride home to California With a banjo on my knee I'm never gonna turn off the television I'm just gonna let it run all night I'm gonna plant root vegetables out in the backyard And come summer I am going to treat you right [Chorus 1] So put on your Chairman Mao coat And let me clear my throat Let's turn this whole town upside-down Shake it 'til the coins come falling out of its pockets Yeah put on your Che Guevara pin Call the troops on in We're gonna sail through the night sky like a pair of bottle rockets [Verse 2] I got a great big secret written down somewhere I got a rosary to protect us both from harm I got a storage locker full of cow figurines And a laundry list of grievances longer than my arm And I am never going back to Cincinnati All those bridges have burned down to the ground I got that jet pack strapped to my back And I'm waiting for you to come around [Chorus 2] Yeah, put on your Chairman Mao coat And let me clear my throat Let's turn this whole place upside-down And shake it 'til the coins come dropping out of its pockets Yeah put on your Che Guevara pin Call the troops on in We're gonna sail through the night sky like a pair of bottle rockets
