Duck Tail Jiver

Musik Elton John/Text Bernie Taupin

erschienen auf Caribou Record Store Day 2024

 

 

Loose lips keep him rolling on his whitewall tires

Burning out his diesel now, looking like a forest fire

Ducktail jiver, common pearl diver

Let you have a piece real cheap

Those Sunday sermons, gotta start learning

How to look before the lion leaps

 

Oh I'd bet Santa Clause is something more

Than a honeymoon in San Moritz

Ducktail jiver, nine to fiver

I'd like to buy a piece that fits

 

Overloaded, railroaded

On the border of a Spanish town

Adios amigos, me got to go

Before they cut this poor boy down

 

So I'd like to buy a drink for someone

A pitcher and a glass

My circuit's run down, my fuse is blown

My childhood came at last

 

Sun-soaked, rain-choked

I need to get these batteries charged

Miles behind my parents' time

Living in the world's back yard

 

(repeat chorus)

Loose lips keep him rolling on his whitewall tires

Burning out his diesel now, looking like a forest fire

Ducktail jiver, common pearl diver

Let you have a piece real cheap

Those Sunday sermons, gotta start learning

How to look before the lion leaps
