[rev. Aug. 26, 2015]

We got some rifles and they're loaded too
We got our sights set on you
Endangered species and bikini lines
Well that's the pitch, hope you have a good time

Well do you get it?
Well do you get it?
Well do you get it?
Come sing the Jack Frost Blues

Beefed up the budget for ammunition
Kidnapped a college kid with a freak condition
Bought a million feet of black and white
Found a silent movie star who liked to work at night

Well do you get it?
Well do you get it?
Well do you get it?
Yeah that's the Jack Frost Blues

We swung a deal on a cargo plane
Ran out of fuel, went down in the rain
No one was hurt but the wigs got wet
Shaved our heads, that was a better bet

Well do you get it?
Well do you get it?
Well do you get it?
Watch out for the Jack Frost Blues

Drifters drift into focus
They're down the back lot, they're parking your car
They get it rigged with some hocus-pocus
They should know better the way that you are

Well do you get it?
Well do you get it?
Well do you get it?
Beware the Jack Frost Blues

All this commotion brought the local police
They took our rockets, wouldn't sign a release
Without our firepower we couldn't make art
Down and out in Hollywood right back at the start

Well do you get it? (No I don't get it)
Well do you get it? (No I don't get it)
Well do you get it?
Well do you get it? (No I don't get it)
Come on and get it? (No I don't get it)
Well do you get it?
Come see the Jack Frost Blues
