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 and always drunk Before I knew it, the wreckage sunk Shake, trip, shimmy and we'd do the bump Everybody's swingin' to the Brown Derby Jump Jump, do the Jump, do the 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 who lives for kicks A nightmare straight from the Otto Dix Everybody swingin' to the Brown Derby chicks Jump, do the Jump, do the Jump 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 hanging in there and that's enough Shake, trip, shimmy and we'd do the bump Everybody's swingin' to the Brown Derby Jump
