LYRICS

00:00 / 01:04

CHORUS

Bluebear mentahh, Lampshade on

Bluebottle mowtown , Dancing all night long

Bluebout'a mento, Dancing all night long

Blue betta-man top, Lampshade on


I went down to the old corner store
They said my credit wasn’t good no more
Lampshade on (Lampshade on) with a lampshade on (Lampshade on)
They gave me no more credit with my lampshade on

CHORUS


So I went down to old Jerry’s bar
Got me some whiskey and stole me a car
Lampshade on (Lampshade on), lampshade on (Lampshade on)
I stole me a Chevy with a lampshade on

CHORUS


I went to the carwash - but didn’t have no change
So I got my rifle and went to the shooting range
Lampshade on (Lampshade on), lampshade on (Lampshade on)
Yes I shot out all four tires with my lampshade on

CHORUS


Went to see my honey on the outskirts of town
Got to her front porch and her house was burning down
Lampshade on (Lampshade on), lampshade on (Lampshade on)
Yes I ran into that fuego with my lampshade on


CHORUS


Ran into that fire with the crackle and the hiss
Saved my darling and gave her a big old kiss
Lampshade on (Lampshade on), lampshade on (Lampshade on)
I saved my darling with a lampshade on

CHORUS


If you keep drinking with a lampshade on
You’ll wake up one morning and I’ll be gone
Lampshade on (Lampshade on), lampshade on (Lampshade on)
I’m gonna leave ya with that lampshade on

CHORUS


Oh but five years later honey won’t you look at me
I’m the governor of the state of Tennessee
Lampshade on (Lampshade on), lampshade on (Lampshade on)
I’ll be your governor with a lampshade on


CHORUS x 2



 I'll let you in on a special secret for being here; those gibberish chorus lyrics are actually meant to be "Bluebell Mountaintop". Yeah, we don't know either.
