Jimmy Buffett
You’ll Never Work in Dis Bidness Again
[Intro]
"He told it to the monkeys and they didn't talk back
Then he told the old iguana and he didn't attack"
[Verse 1]
They told me before I started
That it never ever would work out
Stay in school, don't be a fool
But I had to see what life was about
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So I went to Biloxi
Seekin' fortune and fame
I got hired, I got fired
I got called dirty names
[Chorus]
You'll never, never work in dis bidness again
You'll never, no, never, never work in dis bidness again
[Verse 2]
I knew I needed representation
And I found it one night in a bar
He was a bondsman and a part-time agent
And he said that he would make me a star
[Pre-Chorus 2]
He said', "Ah, you don't have to be that good
To make it out in Hollywood
You just have to change and complain"
[Chorus]
Or you'll never, never work in dis bidness again
You'll never, no, never, never work in dis bidness again
[Bridge]
I parked cars at the Rainbow
I sold maps of the stars
I got my nose broke in Spago's
When I puked on the bar
And all I played's a double bar mitzvah
Bubba played a double bar mitzvah
[Pre-Chorus 3]
It's a jungle out there (we love it)
Hell, I don't care, I'm going back to my predator friends
[Chorus]
I will never, never work in dis bidness again
No, I'll never, no, never, never work in dis bidness again
You'll never, never work in dis bidness again
You'll never, no, never, never work in dis bidness again
[Outro]
"Ah, relax, vhere do you tink you're going vit dat suitcase?"
"I'm outta here!"
"You're leaving?! Vat about my fifteen percent?"
"Fifteen percent of nothin' is nothin'!"
"Young man, you leave now and you'll never..."
"I'll never..."
"You'll never..."
"Work in dis..."
"Bizness..."
"Bidness..."
"AGAIN!!"
