Shannon is gone
Chevy is gone
Shannon is gone
I've heard she's drifting out to sea
I hope she's drifting out to sea
Just like the wandering our fat guy.
Just like the one in our backyard.
Mama says she's fired again
Mama says she's tired again
Maybe she'll find an island, where that she could be...
Maybe she'll find an island with a shady tree.
Maybe she'll find another withered, shaded tree.
Maybe she'll find an island with a shady tree.
Shadow is gone
Shannon is gone
Shambles are gone
Shannon is gone
Shampoo is gone
Shannon is gone
Shannon is gone, wah hoo *
Shannon is gone I heard
* As if crying. Much better and more true-to-life than 'I heard'.
Shannon is gone
I heard she's drifting out to sea
Shannon is gone
I hope she drifted out to sea
Shannon is gone
Our hound is drifting out to sea.
Shannon is gone
I hope she drifted out to sea.
Shannon is gonna go
To drifting off to the sea.
Shannon is gone, I hope
She drifted out to sea.
Shannon it's gonna hurt
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swear away.
Shannon is gone
I hope she drifted out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Sharon is gone
Shannon is gone
