you'll never work in dis bidness again

he told it to the monkeys and they didn't talk back

then he told the old iguana and he didn't attack

they told me before i started

that it never ever would work out

stay in school

don't be afool

but i had to see what life is about

so i went to biloxi seeking fortune and fame

i got hired

i got fired

i got called dirty names

you'll never never work in dis bidness again

no you'll never

no never

never work in dis bidness again

i knew i needed representation

and i found it one night in a bar

he was a bondsman and a part time agent

and he said that he would make me a star

he said

you don't have to be that good
