Take A Long Line Lyrics
This is it, folks
Over the tone!
He was selling postcards from a paper stand
A whiskey bottle in his withered hand
He put a 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!
Chorus:
Take a long line,
Take a long line,
Take a long line,
Reel him in!
He tried to appeal to the king of might
Said, I'm just exercising my sacred right!
The king said, You ain't got no right,
Youre a madman, a traitor,
Get out of my sight!
Chorus:
Take a long line,
Take a long line,
Take a long line,
Reel him in!

Found him in the town, 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.
They put him aboard a well wound whirlwind
Pulled out his teeth and he told him to grin
He gave them a smile, pulled out a bottle of wine
And said I never existed,
Youve been wasting your time!
Chorus: (x3)
Take a long line,
Take a long line,
Take a long line,
Reel him in!
