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
