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
