lyrics

Mr. Hitler told his high command
Getting ready for their final stand,
“This didn’t turn out the way I’d planned
But there’s one thing left to say and that’s
Feet First that’s the only way we’re leaving here
Feet First that’s the only way we’ll go”
Pretty Bonnie said to handsome Clyde
before they set out on their final ride,
“They’re got to bury me by your side
That’s the way it’ has to be! ‘Cause
Feet First that’s the only way I’m leaving you
Feet First that’s the only way we’ll part”
Old king Henry standing proud and tall
Looked at the army ‘round his castle wall
Ducked to dodge a passing cannon ball
Said “Boys it’s time to pray because
Feet First that’s the only way we’re leaving here
Feet First that’s the only way we’ll go”
I know a lady getting on in years
Losing her apartment that’s her biggest fear
Standing in the doorway of her home in tears
Here’s what she said to me, she said, “Stevie,
Feet First that’s the only way I’m leaving here
Feet First that’s the only way I’ll go… come and get me!”
Now you tell me that it’s over
And it’s time to say good bye
But lyears ago we made a promise
We said I’ll love you ‘til I die so
Feet First that’s the only way I’m leaving you
Feet First that’s the only way we’ll part
Feet First on a stretcher in the flashing lights
Feet First with a cold and broken heart .. roll me out of here!
