Lyrics

Swingin Party (Alternate Version)

Pass around the lampshade
Somewhere there's a party
Here it's never ending
Can't remember when it started

Pass around a bottle
There'll be plenty enough room in jail
If being wrong's a crime
I'll be serving forever
Being strong's your kind
And I need help here with this feather
If being afraid is a crime

We hang side by side
At the swingin' party down the line

Poundin' on the pavement
Losin' proposition
Skippin' school and quittin' work
And never going fishing
Water all around and
Never swimmin' much anyhow
If being wrong's a crime
I'll be serving forever
Being strong's your kind

And I need some help here with this feather
If being afraid is a crime

We hang side by side
At the swingin' party down the line

Every time it's a swingin' party down the line

Pass around the lampshade
Somewhere there's a party
Here it's never ending
Can't remember when it started

Pass around the lampshade
Plenty enough room in jail
If being wrong's a crime
I'll be serving forever

If being strong is what you want
Then I need help here with this feather
If being afraid is a crime
We hang side by side

At the swingin' party down the line
At the swingin' party down the line
At the swingin' party down the line
