Album:

Shangri-la

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
