Lyrics

Make me a deal & make it straight, all signed and sealed, I'll take it

To Robert E Lee I'll show it, I hope & pray he don't blow it 'cos

We've been around a long time, just trying, and trying, and trying to make the big time

Take me on a roller coaster, take me for an airplane ride

Take me for a six day wonder, but don't you, don't you throw my pride aside, besides

What's real & make-believe, Baby Jane's in Acapulco, we're all flying down to Rio

Throw me a line, I'm sinking fast, clutching at straws can't make it

Havana sounds we're trying, a hard edge the Hipster jiving, oh no

Last picture shows down the drive-in, you're so sheer, you're so chic

Teenage rebel of the week

Flavours of the mountain streamline, midnight blue casino floors

Dance the cha-cha through 'till sunrise, opens up exclusive doors, oh wow

Just like Flamingos look the same, so me and you, just we two

Got to search for something new

Far beyond the pale horizon, someplace 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
