Lyrics

A Loon

Some store

I'm not going back there anymore

Wandered in

Don't think I'll do that again

No I don't think I'll do that again

I swear

You look at me cross-eyed and I don't know what to do

No I don't know what to do

Crazy loon

Some store

I'm not going back there anymore

I wandered in

Don't think I'll do that again

No I don't think I'll do that again

I swear

You look at me cross-eyed and I don't know what to do

No I don't know what to do

Crazy loon

Crazy loon

Crazy loon

You crazy loon

You crazy loon

You crazy loon

You crazy loon

There's a room in his pallet

There's a pillow for his head

Sees an offshoot in his bottle

When he wants to see me dead

Heirlooms, a loon

Heirlooms, a loon

Never thought I'd see that silly grin

Never thought I'd see that fool again

Never thought I'd like that lunatic

Nothing left to dance around

What a hero

What a black and blue bird

What a loon, a loon

What a loon, a loon
