The notorious & legendary dog & pony show

Throw your caution to the wind, boys
coins are falling from the trees
and moderation is a sin, boys
what's a little hoof and mouth disease?

Ain't nothing you can teach her
about a double feature
let the blood and whiskey flow
because tonight you are a player
tomorrow's never there
in the dog and pony show

So take your whistles to the wolves, girls
they've all got pistols in the their paws
but don't you go running 'til they shoot, girls
'cause every contract has a hidden clause
so ride 'em while you're able
finest in the stable
honey, you just never know
every wheel needs a spinner
and everyone a winner
at the dog and pony show
So come on in and grab a table
it's your lucky day
all the drinks are on the house
until we hoist your bones away
so tip the waitress
she was famous back on the rodeo
and welcome to the notorious
and legendary dog and pony show

Put him 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
ask the men they'll show ya
how far they can throw ya
funny how the money goes
oh, you took him to the cleaners
with all the other dreamers
at the dog and pony show
