throw your caution to the wind, boys

coins are falling from the trees

and moderation is a sin, boys

whats a little hoof & mouth disease?

and nothing you can teach her

about a double feature

let the blood and whiskey flow

because tonight you are a player

tomorrows never there

in the dog & pony show

so take your whistles to the wolves, girls

they've all got pistols in thier paws

but dont you go a runnin till they shoot, girls

cause every contract has a hidden clause

so ride on while your able

find us in the stable 

honey you just never know

every wheel's a spinner

and everyone a winner

in the dog & pony show

so come out in and grab a table

its your lucky day

all the drinks are on the house 

until we hoist your bones away

dont tip the waitress

she looks famous

back on the rodeo

and welcome to the notorious and legendary 

dog & pony show

put em with the other stiffs, boys

take the pennies from his eyes

and seal the deal with a kiss, boys

cause suits and coffins come in every size

dressed up and they'll show ya

how far they can throw ya

funny how the money goes

well you took em to the cleaners

with all the other dreamers 

at the dog & pony show
