[Warren Zevon - Even a Dog Can Shake Hands lyrics]

Hey! Woo, woo
Hey!

He's tryna survive up on Mulholland Drive
He's got the phone in the car in his hand
Everbody's tryna be a friend of mine
Even a dog can shake hands

He wants twenty percent because he
Knew you back when
Now they all want a piece of the band
Everbody's tryna be a friend of mine
Even a dog can shake hands

All the worms and the gnomes are
Having lunch at Le Dome
They're all living off the fat of the land
Everbody's tryna be a friend of mine
Even a dog can shake hands woo-woo, yeah

Sign page forty-two
We'll do the rest for you
Find a way to make it pay
Don't lose your head, you'll end up dead
Or you'll be living in the valley some day
Hey!

I better not hope you don't rock the boat
And we'll make a few hundred grand
Everbody's tryna be a friend of mine
Even a dog can shake hands

You'll be making the scene 'til
They pick your bones clean
And they don't leave much for the fans
Everbody's tryna be a friend of mine
Even a dog can shake hands woo-woo, yeah

Sign page forty-two
We'll do the rest for you
Find a way to make it pay
Don't lose your head, you'll end up dead
You'll be living in the valley some day yeah

Well, I'm tryna survive up
On Mulholland Drive
And I get it any way I can
And everbody's tryna be a friend of mine
Even a dog can shake hands woo-woo, yeah
Woo-woo, ain't that true?
