Have you ever been drivin' home, late at night And found yourself enraptured by a captivating site The mystical allure of blinkin', twinklin', twirly lights Shinin' in your baby's eyes can seem so right And that girl, she makes you stop, in that Wal-Mart parking lot The smell of sweaty people on the summer's air so hot You buy a roll of tickets at fifty cents a pop You're thinkin' that it's gonna be cool, but I'm tellin' you that it's not, no ... 'Cause looks can be deceiving if you know what I mean A shiny patch of happiness may not be what it seems I learned that lesson long ago, much to my chagrin But not before the whole damn thing came crashin' to an end It looked so cool ... looked so fun, I thought The picture-perfect perch from which to get me some -- the top But the wheel, it was junk and that carny, he was drunk And they sent my baby flyin' across the parking lot Tilt-A-Whirl ... it took my girl ... it took my happiness away from me And it put me in traction, it's the Devil's contraption It's the bane of my existence, fellas, listen to me! It's no mechanical cupid ... don't be stupid ... No matter how she begs and whines, don't listen to that girl If you know how to handle her, you'll ride the Scrambler ... But keep away from that Tilt-A-Whirl ... But looks can be deceiving if you know what I mean A shiny patch of happiness may not be what it seems I learned that lesson long ago, much to my chagrin But not before the whole damn thing came crashin' to an end It looked so cool ... looked so fun, I thought The picture-perfect perch from which to get me some -- the top But the wheel, it was junk and that carny, he was drunk And they sent my baby flyin' across the parking lot Tilt-A-Whirl ... you took my girl ... you took my happiness away from me And it put me in traction, it's the Devil's contraption It's the bane of my existence, fellas, listen to me! It's no mechanical cupid ... don't be stupid ... No matter how she begs and whines, don't listen to that girl If you know how to handle her, you'll ride the Scrambler ... But keep away from that Tilt-A-Whirl ... Tilt-A-Whirl ... you took my girl ... Tilt-A-Whirl ... you took my girl ...
