Well, the dogs will howl
And the bells will ring
They'll bring in the laundry
And the birds will sing
They'll be toastin ' our health
The headlines will scream
But not until
The last tambourine
Chorus:
Tambourine
The last tambourine
That's gotta be
Just what we need
The last tambourine's
Goin' straight to the top
The last tambourine's
Gonna make it rock, well
Well, the courts will adjourn
And the ships will come in
There'll be absolution
For all of our sins
And the paparazzi
Will be making a scene
But not until
The last tambourine
They don't write the writin'
On the walls
They don't see it comin'
Till after they fall
They couldn't tell a pig's ear
From a golden ring
Until of cours
The last tambourine
