[Verse 1]
A Asus4 A
Well the dog act got drunk again last night
F#m D Bm
And the King and Queen of the waltz clog team had another fight
D A
King was careless with his tango grip
E Bm
Nearly lost his Queen in a dip
D A
Yeah, she righted herself, straightened out her slip
E
and kicked him in the shin
[Verse 2]
A Asus4 A
Miss Billy Begonia thinks she's hit the big time
F#m D
She wants a thick red rug from the dressing room door
Bm
To the frontline of the footlights
D A
She's got a sky blue swandown powder puff
E Bm
and a corset to keep her spirts up
D A
Yeah, she don't sweat, she sours and melts
E
Like ice cream in the sun
Bm
She'll be out of a job at the end of this
D/C# D
Three week run
[Chorus]
D A D Dsus2
We're havin fun out here, on Panic Beach
A D Dsus2
All the Vaudeville bums are here, out on Panic Beach
F#m
I hear them talk about the Palace
B
But its so far out of reach
D A
So I'll do my time
E A A/B A/C# D
Then say goodbye to Panic Beach
A A/B A/C# D
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 3]
A Asus4 A
The visionary theatric strikes a juggler's seesaw tune
F#m D
and the dying swan pirouettes and fawns
Bm
by the light of the street lamp moon
D A
When my trunk is filled with taffeta
E Bm
Those big time hacks won't laugh at us
D A
Well, my taps are made of silver
E
I can make the kiddies thrill for just one buck and wing
Bm D
Yeah, I will nail them to my heel and the Panic choir sings
[Chorus]
D A D Dsus2
Here comes a lucky little thing to Panic Beach
A D Dsus2
yeah, you know we got to teach him how to sing while we're stuck on Panic Beach
F#m
Ah, the way ya hear em say it
D B
Doesn't seem so out of reach
D A
So I'll do my time
E A A/B A/C# D
Then say goodbye to Panic Beach
A A/B A/C# D
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Instrumental]

Well the landlord gets a free show, every Saturday at six
F#m D Bm
Sometimes on Sunday all dependin' on whatever kind of mood he's in
D A
I keep his glass filled up with sherry
E Bm
And sing him all his favorite songs
D A
If a tear comes to his eye, he may let
E
A month go by before he takes away my key
Bm
Oh, that sherry, starts to taste real good to me
[Chorus]
D A D Dsus2
Hey mama, mama, mama, look at me on Panic Beach
D A D Dsus2
I may be hungry but my rent is free up on Panic Beach
F#m
yeah, I can almost see the Palace
B
No longer out of reach
D A
So I'll do my time
E A A/B A/C# D
Then say goodbye to Panic Beach
A A/B A/C# D
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
