Gonna sneak out the back door

There's a man here talking my ear off

At the society gathering

Gonna find me a corner

This "Little Jack Horner's" unraveling

Un-raaaaaaaaaaaaaa-veling
[Verse 3]

And when my life is over
D G
I'm gonna sneak out the back door

Before the mood turns sober

I'm gonna sneak out the back door
Em D
Hadn't much of a "Midas Touch"

Would you give my regards to the people in charge

While I sneak out

Sneak out the back door
