Oh, Junior and the drummer are fighting
About a woman in the neighborhood
Well the drummer never hit a bad lick in his life
And Junior never hit any good
Yeah the Colonel said that women are for lovin' not fightin'
But that didn't clear the air
'Cause Junior's still livin' in the Blackborad Jungle
With his Elvis Presley hair

Yeah the drummer got the drum
The colonel got the gun
And Junior's only got a knife
He better run
It's a shootout on the plantation
It's so hard to understand
Why do some people gotta hurt somebody
The firewater's not the villian
Yeah, the last one to kiss is the first to shoot
And stabbin' your friend is such a drag to boot
It's a shootout on the plantation
Oh, heaven help Mr. Swan, yeah

And the cold steel blade is shining
Enough to cause your blood to freeze
But the drummer is drummin' a Rolling Stones' number
On Juniors head and on his knees
Oklahoma's lonesome cowboys
Are turned on in Tinsel Town
I knew there'd be some cameras a-rollin'
If Andy was standin' around

Yeah, the drummer got the drum
The colonel got the gun
And Junior's only got a knife
He better run
It's a shootout on the plantation
It's so hard to understand
Why do some people gotta hurt somebody
The firewater's not the villian
Oh, the last one to kiss is the first to shoot
And stabbin' your friend is such a drag to boot
It's a shootout on the plantation
Oh, heaven help Mr. Swan, help me

Yeah, now the drummer got the drum
The colonel got the gun
And Junior's only got a knife
He better run
It's a shootout on the plantation
It's so hard to understand
Why do some people gotta hurt somebody
The firewater's not the villian
Oh, the last one to kiss is the first to shoot
And stabbin' your friend is such a drag to boot
It's a shootout on the plantation
Oh, heaven help Mr. Swan, yeah

Won't somebody help me,
You gotta help me, help me, help me, help me, help me,
help me, help me, help me
Whoa, won't you help me, help me
Oooh, why don't you help me
Why don't you tell me about it
Why don't you scream and shout it
Whoa, won't you help me, help me
Mmmm, help me and heaven help Mister
Won't you kiss your sister
Well heaven help Mr. Swan
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa whoa
