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
