[Verse 1]
Well, the devil's blowing coal through the smokestacks of your mind
Dylan's hanging on the cross, the piano's doing fine
Jacob's on the ladder smoking candy cigarettes
The Chinaman's got heartburn and a thousand tv sets

[Verse 2]
With arms as big as airplanes, he ripped his momma's blouse
The preacher man is hiding now but we know he's in the house
And you think I've depthed the fathoms, but you'd better guess again
I don't understand these spirits, no, I only channel them

[Chorus]
Singing rah, da-da-dap, da-da-da-da-dap, da-dah
Rah, da-da-dap, da-da-da-da-dap, da-dah
La-da-da-dah, da-da-da-da-dah
Rah, da-da-dap, da-da-da-da-dap, da-dah

[Verse 3]
The taxidermist picked me up at a quarter after ten
He fixed my troubled mind and then he took me home again
The river's melting quickly but the sky has disappeared
The Mohicans don't leave nothing but a single unshed tear

[Verse 4]
The midway's closing down but it's been a lovely run
And 50 years means nothing if the town's been having fun
And you think I've depthed the fathoms but you'd better guess again
I don't understand these spirits, no, I only channel them
[Chorus]
Singing lah, da-da-dap, da-da-da-da-dap, da-dah
Rah, da-da-dap, da-da-da-da-dah, da-dah
Rah-da-da-dah, da-da-da-da-dah
Rah, da-da-dap, da-da-da-da-dah, da-dah
Oh, oh

[Instrumental Break]
La-da-da-da-dah

[Chorus]
I said rah, da-da-dap, da-da-da-da-dap, da-dah
Rah, da-da-dap, da-da-da-da-dah, da-dah
Rah-da-da-dah, da-da-da-da-dah
Rah, da-da-dap, da-da-da-dap-dah, da-dah
Oh, oh
