Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there's a party

Am                               F
Here it's never ending, can't remember when it started

C
Pass around the lampshade, there'll be plenty enough room in jail


Am                            F
If being wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever

C                                 G
If being strong's your kind, then I need help here with this feather

Am                   F                        C
If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side

       F        G                   C
At the swingin' party down the line

If being wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
