Intro

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

Somebody's gotta crack a whip around here
