Shake Hands With Beef
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a time for lies
And a time for truth
I say eye for an eye
Eye for a tooth
When I roamed young
I'd scavenge around
Every nook and cranny
Of our little town
It's nice, so nice, to be
Pull out the cannon boys
Steal us some wine
Puff Tijuana Smalls
Shake hands with beef
She's so fine
She's so sweet
Mom and Pop they raised her
On huge slabs of meat
She's fine
A man of nine
Water derby day
Twenty six pumps on a Crosman
And it's time to play
It's fine, so fine, to be
Pull out the cannon boys
Steal us some wine
Puff Tijuana Smalls
Shake hands with beef
