 C/G                  F5
honey, you know the drill
C/G | F5 | C/G | F5 | A5
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
       
           G5
well they can all look down
    C/G       G5
on sucker row
                 C/G
but they all forget
     G5
the tallest trees
     C/G
from acorns grow
         F5        G5
though they ain’t yet
i never look down
      C/G          G5
on a sucker stake
                  C/G
they all pay the bills
   G5
i never gave a sucker
   C/G        F5
an even break
             G5
and i never will
   A5
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
