Lyrics
Never Shake His Hand
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.
Never shake his hand, although he asks you please
Never shake his hand, or you'll catch his disease
It's hard to gauge the power he commands
You can never shake his hand
Don't ever shake his hand, in the loneliness of night
Don't ever shake his hand, although it feels so right
You must beware of the things that you demand
You can never shake his hand
Never shake his hand, you're no match for his grip
Never shake his hand, you can't give him the slip
It only takes one touch to understand
You can never shake his hand
Never shake his hand, you'll find he sticks to you
Never shake his hand, he's something like the flu
He's introduced as an honest man, he'll recommend a subtle change in plans
And then he leaves you wasted in the sand
You can never shake his hand
