Even A Dog Can Shake Hands - Warren Zevon

Hey, hey, he’s trynna survive up on Mulholland Drive

He’s got the phone in the car in his hand

Everbody’s trynna 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 trynna 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 trynna be a friend of mine

Even a dog can shake hands

Sign page 42, 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

hope you don’t rot to bottom

We are all making few hundred grand

Everbody’s trynna 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 trynna be a friend of mine

Even a dog can shake hands

Sign page 42, we’ll do the rest for you

Find a way to make it pay

Don’t lose your head, end up dead

You’ll be living in the valley some day

Well, I’m trynna survive up on Mulholland Drive

And I get it any way I can

And everbody’s trynna be a friend of mine

Even a dog can shake hands

Ain’t that true?
