Lead Balloon - Joni Mitchell

«Kiss my ass!»

I said

And I threw my drink

Tequila trickling

Down his business suit

Must be the Irish blood

Fight before you think

Turn it now

You can’t cowtow

You can’t undo it

It’s his town

And that went down

Like a lead balloon

Lead lead lead lead balloon

He said «Sic her, Rover»

That went over

Like a lead balloon

Lead lead lead lead balloon

Lead balloon

An angry man is just an angry man

But an angry woman

Bitch!

I had to ask him for a helping hand

It came with the heart

Of a Bonaparte

Of a frozen fish

It’s his town

And that went down

Like a lead balloon

Lead lead lead lead balloon

He said «Sic her, Rover»

That went over

Like a lead balloon

Lead lead lead lead balloon

Lead balloon

Lead balloon, lead lead lead lead balloon

Lead balloon, lead lead lead lead balloon

Lead balloon, lead lead lead lead balloon

Lead balloon

It’s his town

And that went down

Like a lead balloon

Lead lead lead balloon

He said «Sic her, Rover»

That went over

Like a lead balloon

Lead lead lead lead balloon

Lead balloon

Lead lead lead lead balloon

Lead lead lead lead balloon

Lead balloon
