Red Accordion - Patty Larkin

Don't stand in my way

Well I'm taking these legs for a spin around the block

And I'm gonna look up all those friends I forgot

Cause I know there's a laugh

In my throat that got caught

At a stoplight just down the street

Don't stand in my way

Well I know London Bridges are all falling down

And it's gonna be hard to find a way across town

But I'm gonna jump off this old merry-go-round

And I'm flagging a taxi

Don't listen the din rising behind you

Look at life like a train wreck and one finds you

Light a match and your fear of fire will

Burn you down

Don't stand in my way

Gonna climb up and see if this table top spins

Gonna haul out my old Red Accordion

Cause you can't play a polka on ten violins

Who cares if I don't know how

Don't stand in my way

Cause they don't make a scotch

Tape to patch up this hole

And if God didn't want us to

He wouldn't have made rock roll

Better put on your coat cause it's sure getting cold

And we'll take it all outside

Pay attention to the moon rising behind you

Look at life like a tragedy and it will blind you

I'll make a fool of myself maybe that will

Remind you how

Yeah
