sucker row

Somebodys gotta crack

A whip around here
Whos minding the store?

Shake it up sell some beer

Whats your
Money maker for?

Pay day

Were packin em in

Six-gun annie

And buffalo jill

But whos to say
Theyll be back again

For a refill?
Honey, you know the drill

Aint 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 mes
Getting organised
Its 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 aint 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

Somebodys gotta crack

A whip around here
Whos
Minding the store ?

Shake it up
Sell some beer

Money walking
Through the door

Annies arriving
At a dangerous age

Dont you

Go getting ill

Get another woman
Up in the cage

Who aint over the hill

Honey, you know the drill
