David Lee Roth - The Dogtown Shuffle Lyrics
Keep your eyes wide open, babeIf you decide to take the long walkMy city screams of dangerAnd you're on borrowed timeIt comes from a jealous clockAnd you're a permanent strangerSo the last of the wild frontier kingsIs held for further questioningWhen nothing's left but death and taxesThe matter of the real fact isYou go through life as someone's doormatCause you don't get no sportin' chanceThere ain't much distance 'tween a pat on the backAnd a kick in the pantsYou do the Dogtown ShuffleNow do you talk the talk?Yes I do!I do the Dogtown ShuffleBut can you walk the walk?Lemme see ya do it one time...Some self-made guy gets it in the assAt the local mini-mallLooks more like a warning than an exampleAnd late at nightThey said he used to sleep the sleep of the justI sleep the sleep of the just afterThey said the wild boys go head to headAnd like the good book says be quick or dead!So ante up or let 'em goCause I'm filing charges on your soulIt's just a joke and you're the punchlineYeah, the streets are a million laughsAnd if I must, well in, God I trustEverybody else gotta pay cash...You do the Dogtown ShuffleBut can you talk the talk?Let me hear ya!You do the Dogtown ShuffleBut can you walk the walk?Now purely off the record, man...Yeah, I figured I was gonna go downAnd get a little breakfastAt the local Taco TruckYeah, my guise could use some refinementBut I'm on a self improvement kick these daysSo what the *****?Hey man, there was a line behind meA line behind me...Yeah they always try to nail yaMo
