  and modified Brougham DeVille<br />
  and a pair of legs that opened up<br />
  like butterfly wings<br />
  and a mad dog that wouldn`t<br />
  sit still<br />
  he went and took up with a Salvation Ar<br />
 Band girl<br />
  who played dirty water<br />
  on a swordfishtrombone<br />
  he went to sleep at the bottom of<br />
  Tenkiller lake<br />
  and he said `gee, but it`s<br />
  great to be home.`<br />
  <br />
  Well he came home from the war<br />
  with a party in his head<br />
  and an idea for a fireworks display<br />
  and he knew that he`d be ready with<br />
  a stainless steel machete<br />
  and a half a pint of Ballentine`s<br />
  each day<br />
  and he holed up in room above a hardware store<br />
  cryin` nothing there but Hollywood tears<br />
  and he put a spell on some<br />
  poor little Crutchfield girl<br />
  and stayed like that for 27 years<br />
  <br />
  Well he packed up all his<br />

  with a lucky tiger in his angel hair<br />

  they found him in a eucalyptus tree<br />
  lieutenant got him a canary bird<br />
  and shaked her head with every word<br />
  and Chesterfielded moonbeams in a song<br />
  and he got 20 years for lovin` her<br />
  from some Oklahoma governor<br />

  does is wrong<br />
  <br />

  the obituary mambo<br />
  and some say he`s hanging on the wall<br />

  some say he was never here at all<br />
  <br />
  Some say they saw him down in<br />

Well he came home from the war
with a party in his head
and modified Brougham DeVille
and a pair of legs that opened up
like butterfly wings
and a mad dog that wouldn`t
sit still
he went and took up with a Salvation Ar
Band girl
who played dirty water
on a swordfishtrombone
he went to sleep at the bottom of
Tenkiller lake
and he said `gee, but it`s
great to be home.`

Well he came home from the war
with a party in his head
and an idea for a fireworks display
and he knew that he`d be ready with
a stainless steel machete
and a half a pint of Ballentine`s
each day
and he holed up in room above a hardware store
cryin` nothing there but Hollywood tears
and he put a spell on some
poor little Crutchfield girl
and stayed like that for 27 years

Well he packed up all his
expectations he lit out for California
with a flyswatter banjo on his knee
with a lucky tiger in his angel hair
and benzedrine for getting there
they found him in a eucalyptus tree
lieutenant got him a canary bird
and shaked her head with every word
and Chesterfielded moonbeams in a song
and he got 20 years for lovin` her
from some Oklahoma governor
said everything this Doughboy
does is wrong

Now some say he`s doing
the obituary mambo
and some say he`s hanging on the wall
perhaps this yarn`s the only thing
that holds this man together
some say he was never here at all

Some say they saw him down in
Birmingham, sleeping in a
boxcar going by
and if you think that you can tell a bigger tale
I swear to God you`d have to tell a lie...
