Brown Derby Jump
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 & always drunk
Before i knew it the wreckage sunk
Shake, trip, shimmy & we'd do the bump
Everybody swingin' to the brown derby jump
The beautiful life is always damned
You gotta fall into 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 & 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 & that's enough
Shake, trip, shimmy & we'd do the bump
Everybody swingin' to the
Brown derby jump
