lyrics

I lost my gal for the last time when she caught me at the track
She called me a compulsive gambler
Can’t keep my mind off winning her back.

I ordered eight shots from the bartender
He said, “Man, you drank those fast!”
I said, “You would too if you had what I do.”
He asked, “What’s that?”
I answered, “Fifty cents.”

Well, it’s dog-eat-dog out there
But just the opposite ’round here
Any fool will work for food –
Me?
I’ll drink for beer.

Well, it’s dog-eat-dog out there
But just the opposite ’round here
Any fool will work for food –
Me?
I’ll drink for beer.

Out on the old main drag, a couple ladies coming up
they’re staring at my feet and in laughter they erupt
One points down and asks me “Mister, did you lose a shoe?”
I said “No ma’am, I found one. Now, what the hell is it to you?”

Well, it’s dog-eat-dog out there
But just the opposite ’round here
Any fool will work for food –
Me?
I’ll drink for beer.

Well, it’s dog-eat-dog out there
But just the opposite ’round here
Any fool will work for food –
Me?
I’ll drink for beer.

I came upon a well-heeled gentleman
As I was walking down the street
I asked if he could spare something
So I could fix something to eat
He says “No, I don’t give money out to people I don’t know.”
I said “Thanks anyway, my name’s John.” I shook his hand and watched him go.
Then I circled ‘round the block and came upon him once again
Waved out “Hey, it’s your ol'pal John!
Can you lend ten bucks to this dear friend?”

Well, it’s dog-eat-dog out there
But just the opposite ’round here
Any fool will work for food
Me?
I’ll drink for beer.

Well, it’s dog-eat-dog out there
But just the opposite ’round here
Any fool can work for food
Me?
I’ll drink for beer.

Me?
I’ll drink for beer.
