Karaoké Take a Long Line The Angels

He was selling postcards from a paper stand

A whiskey bottle in his withered hand

He put his finger on a photo from an old magazine

And saw himself in the shadow of his dream

They found him with his head inside a tin-pot crown

Told him his feet stank and took him downtown

Called him agitator spy and thief

Shut him up in solitary third degree

Take a long line take a long line

Take a long line reel him in

He tried to appeal to the king of might

He said I'm just excercising my sacred right

The king he said you ain't got no rights

You're a madman a traitor get outta my sight

Take a long line take a long line

Take a long line reel him in oh hey

Found him with his head inside a tin-pot crown

Told him his feet stank and took him downtown

Called him agitator spy and thief

Shut him up in solitary third degree

And they put him aboard a well wound whirlwind

Pulled out his teeth and then he told him to grin

He gave them a smile pulled out a bottle of wine

And said I never existed you've been wasting your time

Take a long line take a long line

Take a long line reel him in

And take a long line take a long line

Take a long line reel him in

Oh take a long line take a long line

Take a long long long long line and reel him in
