Sucker Row Lyrics - Shangri-la - Mark Knopfler

somebody's gotta crack 

a whip around here 

who's minding the store? 

shake it up sell some beer 

what's your 

money maker for? 

pay day 

we're packin' 'em in 

six-gun annie 

and buffalo jill 

but who's to say 

they'll be back again 

for a refill? 

honey, you know the drill 

ain't no left turn 

down sleepy time street 

you gotta be fast 

but you gotta stay loose 

thinking 

on your feet 

slick as grass 

through a goose 

we gotta 

rationalise 

the payroll 

is giving me chills 

you and me's 

getting organised 

it's kill or be killed 

honey, you know the drill

well they can all look down 

on sucker row 

but they all forget 

the tallest trees 

from acorns grow 

though they ain't yet 

i never look down 

on a sucker stake 

they all pay the bills 

i never gave a sucker 

an even break 

and i never will 

Photos 

a beautiful vision 

keeps coming to me 

i see 

a miracle mile 

flying in 

for free 

service 

with a smile 

high rollers 

fancy hotels 

big time singers 

topping the bill 

you gotta have a feel 

for the stuff that sells 

call it a skill 

honey, you know the drill 

somebody's gotta crack 

a whip around here 

who's 

minding the store? 

shake it up 

sell some beer 

money walking 

through the door 

annie's arriving 

at a dangerous age 

don't you 

go getting ill 

get another woman 

up in the cage 

who ain't over the hill 

honey, you know the drill
