"He told it to the monkeys and they didn't talk back,
then he told the old iguana and he didn't attack".
stay in school, don't be a fool, but I had to see what life was about.
Pre-Chorus
So, I went to Biloxi, seekin' fortune and fame,
I got hired, I got fired, I got called dirty names.
You'll never (never), never (never), work in dis bidness again.
You'll never (never), no never (never), never work in dis bidness again.
Interlude
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.
He said', "Aaaah, you don't have to be that good to make it out in Hollywood,
you just have to change and complain".
Or you'll never (never), never (never), work in dis bidness again.
You'll never (never), no never (never), never work in dis bidness again.
Solo
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
It's a jungle out there, hell, I don't care, I'm going back to my predator friends.
I will never (never), never (never), work in this bidness again.
No, I'll never (never), no never (never), never work in this bidness again.
You'll never (never), never (never), work in this bidness again.
Outro
"Ah, relax, where do you think you're going with dat suitcase?"
"I'm outta here!" "You're leaving?! Vat about my fifteen percent?"
"15 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!!"
