Paroles: Warren Zevon. Even a Dog Can Shake Hands.

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

[Incomprehensible] 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?
