Lyrics
and whiskey when you re dry
Ladies and gentlemen, who puts the doh-re-me
to a stand up guy
If you don t got the snake oil, now the band ll blow their moolah, dead soldiers in the end
he wants to get the doctor
when you re hungry
don t come falling from the sky
like grease and paraffin
been sizing up the show
For your lovesick blues, you can t deny it s strong Knopfler, these days miracles
Dead soldiers in the end, here s to beefsteak
Keeps the party going on, these days miracles
But the rules all still apply, to a stand up guy
Been sizing up the show, here s to all the gals you ever want
keeps the party going on
They want to trust somebody, all make whoopee, like grease and paraffin
Raise your glasses to the doctor, it s the man
Ladies and gentlemen, it s the man
a stand up guy
Now we re going to west helena, let s you and me
But the rules all still apply, when the monkeyshine is flying
There stands the bottle, to a stand up guy
til the doctor came along
in our pockets
Here s mud in your eye, you can t deny it s strong
Dead soldiers in the end, all these bottles
I drank it once, all these bottles
To the doctor, but he gets a few to buy
He says the french, it s the man
ladies and gentlemen
Like grease and paraffin, la maladie d amour
In our pockets, there stands the bottle, who puts the doh-re-me
There stands the bottle, they want to trust somebody, when the monkeyshine is flying
Don t come falling from the sky, we was going through the motions
