Make me a deal and make it straight
All signed and sealed I'll take it
To Robert E. Lee I'll show it
I hope and pray he don't blow it 'cause
We've been around a long time just try try tryin' to
Make make the big time...

Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six days wander but don't you
Don't you throw away my pride aside besides
What's real and make believe
Baby Jane's in Acapulco
We're flyin' down to Rio

Throw me a line I'm sinking fast
Clutching at straws can't make it
Havana sound we're trying hard edge the hipster jiving
Last picture show's down the drive-in
You're so sheer you're so chic
Teenage rebel of the week

Flavors of the mountain streamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the cha-cha through til sunrise
Open up exclusive doors oh wow!
Just like flamingos look the same
So me and you, just we two got to reach for something new

Far beyond the pale horizon
Some place near the desert strand
Where my Studebaker takes me
That's where I'll make my stand but wait
Can't you see that Holzer mane
What's her name Virginia Plain
