Somebody's gotta crack
|
A whip around here
|
Who's minding the store?
|
Shake it up sell some beer
|
What's your
|
Money maker for?
|
Pay day
|
We're packin' 'em in
|
Six-gun Annie
|
And Buffalo Jill
|
But who's to say
|
They'll be back again
|
For a refill?
|
Honey, you know the drill
|
Ain't no left turn
|
Down sleepy time street
|
You gotta be fast
|
But you gotta stay loose
|
Thinking
|
On your feet
|
Slick as grass
|
Through a goose
|
We gotta
|
Rationalise
|
The payroll
|
Is giving me chills
|
You and me's
|
Getting organised
|
It's kill or be killed
|
Honey, you know the drill
|
|
Well they can all look down
|
On sucker row
|
But they all forget
|
The tallest trees
|
From acorns grow
|
Though they ain't yet
|
I never look down
|
On a sucker stake
|
They all pay the bills
|
I never gave a sucker
|
An even break
|
And I never will
|
|
A beautiful vision
|
Keeps coming to me
|
I see
|
A miracle mile
|
Flying in
|
For free
|
Service
|
With a smile
|
High rollers
|
Fancy hotels
|
Big time singers
|
Topping the bill
|
You gotta have a feel
|
For the stuff that sells
|
Call it a skill
|
Honey, you know the drill
|
Somebody's gotta crack
|
A whip around here
|
Who's
|
Minding the store?
|
Shake it up
|
Sell some beer
|
Money walking
|
Through the door
|
Annie's arriving
|
At a dangerous age
|
Don't you
|
Go getting ill
|
Get another woman
|
Up in the cage
|
Who ain't over the hill
|
Honey, you know the drill
|
