Brown Durby Jump Lyrics

Brown Durby 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 to 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

they do the jump
they do the
jump
everybody do the jump
they do the jump
they do the
jump

(horn solos)

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 you
do the bump
everybody swingin' to the brown derby jump

we do the
jump
we do the jump
we do the jump
everybody do the jump
