T Bone Burnett & Elvis Costello - Lyndon Johnson Lyrics

T Bone Burnett & Elvis Costello Lyrics

"Lyndon Johnson"

A Thermidor lobster and a Singapore sling
Something that looked like a diamond ring
Her kisses were sweet and tingling
So I gave her all of my Benjamins

She said, "Mister, you must think I'm a dunce
Well, maybe just this once"

I don't want it
I don't want it
I don't want your Lyndon Johnson

I don't want it
I don't want it
I don't want your Lyndon Johnson

She said, "Mister, you must think that I'm a dunce
Maybe just this once"

Then she took the keys to the Cadillac
She said, "I'm leaving and I'm not coming back"
She picked a card from the top of the pack
And said, "I'm serious as a heart attack"

"Mister, you must think that I'm a dunce
Maybe just this once"

I don't want it
I don't want it
I don't want your Lyndon Johnson

I don't want it
I don't want it
I don't want your Lyndon Johnson

She said, "Mister, you must think that I'm a dunce
Maybe just this once"

I don't want it
I don't want it
I don't want your Lyndon Johnson

I don't want it
I don't want it
I don't want your Lyndon Johnson

She said, "Mister, you must think that I'm a dunce
Maybe just this once
Maybe just this once
Maybe just this once"
