Lyrics

Delta 88

We're gonna go to Cannery Row

We're gonna go to Cannery Row

We're gonna stay at the Bates Motel

We're gonna get John Perkins out

We're gonna go to Cannery Row

We're gonna stay at the Bates Motel

We're gonna get John Perkins out

We're gonna go to Cannery Row

Delta 88

Delta 88 nightmare

Delta 88 nightmare

Delta 88

Delta 88 nightmare

Cannery Row where the bums all gone

Cannery Row where the bums all gone

Excuse me sir, ?

Look out love ?

Then nowhere to go on Cannery Row

Nowhere to go on Cannery Row

Main street bread and ?

Just by ?

Said nothing to do on Cannery Row

It's Cannery Row and nowhere to go

?

Bums are back and they're . . 

Delta 88

Delta 88 nightmare

We're gonna go to Cannery Row

We're gonna go to Cannery Row

We're gonna stay at the Bates Motel

We're gonna get John Perkins out

We're gonna go to Cannery Row

We're gonna stay at the Bates Motel

We're gonna get John Perkins out

We're gonna go to Cannery Row
