Steve Kilbey - Bossa lyrics

The standing invitation to the back of beyond Beyond which no man dares tread They do the bossa nova in Wilmington and Dover In clover, over your head Saddle your cow We're leavin' right now Take off your skin Or we'll never get in The drummer's name is Jerry The singer she is Sherry The trumpet man is called something Dutch The vibraphone is shimmer The room is getting dimmer A glimmer, a touch too much The gang is all here They're drowning in beer Pull up a chair Or just lay on the stairs It's getting faster It's getting tighter It's getting easy Downtown tonight The bartender is tender Hey big spender, can't you lend me a dollar or two? And ain't that Maureen by the cigarette machine And ain't that Hortence, too Breathe in the smoke Laugh at this joke You'll have to shout If you want to get out It's getting faster It's getting tight It's getting easy Downtown tonight
