Lyrics Warren Zevon

Warren Zevon

Even a Dog Can Shake Hands

Well, he's trying to survive up on Mulholland Drive

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

Everbody's trying to be a friend of mine

Even a dog can shake hands

He wants twenty percent

'Cause he knew you back when

Now they all want a piece if the band

Everybody's trying to 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 trying to 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

You'll be making the scene 'til they pick your bones clean

No, they don't leave much for the fans

Everybody's trying to 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

Well, I'm trying to survive up on Mulholland Drive

And I get it any way I can

Everybody's trying to be a friend of mine

Even a dog can shake hands
