Brown Derby Jump Lyrics

she was a woman of mystery
and what she wanted i could not see
a three-year trip on the dragon
until the clinic had to get me clean
we were a party and always drunk
before i knew it the wreckage sunk
shake, trip, shimmy and we'd do the bump
everybody swingin' to the brown derby jump
the beautiful life is always damned
you gotta fall in o the quicksand
a deadly kiss from a temptress can serve
to make a truly wayward man
she's not a talker her teeth are fixed
but she's a looker that lives for kicks
a nightmare straight from an otto dix
everybody swingin' with the brown derby chicks
i've come a long way and now i'm me
the darkest river that meets the sea
and all those lights on the harbor seem
to be sparklin' in bittersweet
i'm a survivor my heart is tough
i'm hangin' in there and that's enough
shake, trip, shimmy and we'd do the bump
everybody swingin' to the brown derby jump
