Chords in this song11
capo 3 — sounds 3 semitones higherIntro
Verse 1
Well the dog act got drunk again last night
And the King and Queen of the waltz clog team had another fight
King was careless with his tango grip
Nearly lost his Queen in a dip
Yeah, she righted herself, straightened out her slip
and kicked him in the shin
Verse 2
Miss Billy Begonia thinks she's hit the big time
She wants a thick red rug from the dressing room door
To the frontline of the footlights
She's got a sky blue swandown powder puff
and a corset to keep her spirts up
Yeah, she don't sweat, she sours and melts
Like ice cream in the sun
She'll be out of a job at the end of this
Three week run
Chorus
We're havin fun out here, on Panic Beach
All the Vaudeville bums are here, out on Panic Beach
I hear them talk about the Palace
But its so far out of reach
So I'll do my time
Then say goodbye to Panic Beach
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Verse 3
The visionary theatric strikes a juggler's seesaw tune
and the dying swan pirouettes and fawns
by the light of the street lamp moon
When my trunk is filled with taffeta
Those big time hacks won't laugh at us
Well, my taps are made of silver
I can make the kiddies thrill for just one buck and wing
Yeah, I will nail them to my heel and the Panic choir sings
Chorus
Here comes a lucky little thing to Panic Beach
yeah, you know we got to teach him how to sing while we're stuck on Panic Beach
Ah, the way ya hear em say it
Doesn't seem so out of reach
So I'll do my time
Then say goodbye to Panic Beach
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Instrumental
Verse 4
N/C
Well the landlord gets a free show, every Saturday at six
Sometimes on Sunday all dependin' on whatever kind of mood he's in
I keep his glass filled up with sherry
And sing him all his favorite songs
If a tear comes to his eye, he may let
A month go by before he takes away my key
Oh, that sherry, starts to taste real good to me
Chorus
Hey mama, mama, mama, look at me on Panic Beach
I may be hungry but my rent is free up on Panic Beach
yeah, I can almost see the Palace
No longer out of reach
So I'll do my time
Then say goodbye to Panic Beach
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Fade on A D
