WARREN ZEVON - SEMINOLE BINGO lyrics

I'm a junk bond king

And I'm on the run

Me and a friend of mine

We were headed for the sunshine

I got my hands on the wheel

I got gas in the tank

I got a suitcase full of money

From a Luxembourg bank

We didn't stop 'til we got to Big Cypress

Wandered in to the Legion Hall

The sign outside said "Seminole Bingo"

Fell in love with the ping pong balls

And the SEC is far behind

Down in the swamp with the gators and flamingos

A long way from Liechtenstein

I'm a junk bond king playing Seminole Bingo

And my Wall Street wiles

Don't help me even slightly

'Cause I never have the numbers

And I'm losing nightly

I cashed in the last of my Triple B bonds

Bought a double-wide on the Tamiami Trail

I parked it right outside the reservation

Fifteen minutes from the Collier County Jail

And the SEC is far behind

Down in the swamp with the gators and flamingos

A long way from Liechtenstein

I'm a junk bond king playing Seminole Bingo

Well, the SEC is far behind

Down in the swamp with the gators and flamingos

A long way from Liechtenstein

I'm a junk bond king playing Seminole Bingo
