Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro

Well the dog act got drunk again last night

 And the King and Quenn of the waltz clog team had another fight

 King was careless with his tango grip

 Nearly lost his queen in a dip

 Yeah, she righted herself, straightened out her slip

 and kicked him in the shin

 Miss Billy Begonia thinks she's hit the big time

 She wants a thick red rug from the dressing room door

 To the frontline of the footlights

 She's got a sky blue swandown powder puff

 and a corset to keep her spirts up

 Yeah, she don't sweat, she sours and melts

 Like ice cream in the sun

 She'll be out of a job at the end of this

Three week run

We're havin fun out here, on Panic Beach

 All the Vaudeville bums are here, out on Panic Beach

 I hear them talk about the palace

 But its so far out of reach

 So I'll do my time

 Then say goodbye to Panic Beach

 Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Verse 3

same chords has verse 2*

The visionary theatric strikes a juggler's seesan tune

and the dying swan pirouettes and fawns

by the light of the street lamp moon

When my trunk is filled with taffeta

Those big time hacks won't laugh at us

When my taps are mado of silver

I can make the kiddies thrill for just one buck and wing

Yeah, I will nail them to my heel and the pnaic choir sings

Chorus ii

same chords as Chorus*

Here comes a lucky little thing to panic beach

yeah, you know we got to teach him how to sing

While we're stuck on panic beach

Ah, the way ya hear em say it

Doesn't seem so out of reach

So I'll do my time

Then say goodbye to Panic Beach

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Verse 4

same chords as verse 2 except no chord over first line - pick up

with F#m in second line*

Well the landlord gets a free show, every Saturday at six

Sometimes on Sunday all dependin on whatever kind of

mood he's in

I keep his glass filled up with sherry

And sing him all his favorite songs

If a tear comes to his eye, he may let

A month go by before he takes away my key

Oh, that sherry, starts to taste real good to me

Hey mam look at me on panic beach

I may be hungry but my rent is free up on panic beach

yeah, I can almost see the palace

No longer out of reach

So I'll do my time

Then say goodbye to Panic Beach

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

 Fade on
