Lyrics

make me a deal I’ll make it straight
all signed and sealed I’ll take it
to Robert E. Lee I’ll show it
I hope and pray he don’t blow it ‘cause
we’ve been around a long long time

just tryin’ to make the big time

take me on a roller coaster
take me for an airoplane ride
take me for a six days wonder but don’t you
don’t you throw my pride aside besides
what’s real and make believe

baby Jane’s in Acapulco
we are flying down to Rio

throw me a line I’m thinking fast
clutching at straws can’t make it
Havana sound we’re trying
hard edge the hipster jiving
last picture shows down the drive-in

you’re so shear you’re so chic
teenage rebel of the week

flavours of the mountain steamline
midnight blue casino floor
dance the cha cha thru till sunrise
open up exclusive doors oh wow
just like flamingo’s look the same

so me and you just we two
got to search for something new

far beyond the pale horizon
some place near the desert strand
where my studebaker takes me
that’s where I make my stand but wait
can’t you see that holzer maine

what’s her name
Virginia Plain
