Palestine Texas

Lyrics

Frank who was swank robbed a bank with a tank for a prank
 Sam who was glam ran a scam from Siam to Viet Nam
 Dean who was clean had a scene with the queen for a magazine
 Joe wasn't slow but didn't know how to blow all the dough from the show
 Palestine Texas Palestine Texas
 Peter in a two-seater for a heater had a thirty millimeter
 Shecky worked blue for he knew it was true he would not get his due
 Ann knew the plan as she ran from a fan with a man from the Klan
 Phyllis would thrill us then grill us then kill us with bacillus
 Palestine Texas Palestine Texas
 Presidents come and presidents go
 They rise like smoke they fall like snow
 Do you believe the things you say
 Your lofty thoughts are filled with hay
 What is this faith that you profess
 That led to this colossal mess
 When you awaken from this coma
 You'll find you were in Oklahoma
 When you crawl out of this self delusion
 You're going to need a soul transfusion
 This version of the world will not be here long
 It is already gone It is already gone
 This version of the world will not be here long
 It is already gone It is already gone
