Attila's Blues
The Guess Who

(Cummings, Wallace, Winter, McDougall, Peterson)


Show biz train, baby won't you climb on board.


Is your manager managing to manage for the best

Or is he making out fine for himself

Does your record label bring you in with trumpets and horns

Just to pack you back away on the shelf

Is your lawyer lyin' to you, do you really want to know

As your agent waiting home for his pay, pay, pay

Welcome one and all now to show show business

Wouldn't have it any other way.


Got some people lining up for seven days before you come

But then your house is full of empty chairs

Are you finding self-importance in the things that you've done

You're findin' out that no one really cares

Do the people buy your records, do they play them on the air ...

But the warehouse must be where they stay

Welcome one and all down to show show business

Wouldn't have it any other way.


Show biz train, baby won't you climb on board.


Well have you ever had an aardvark sandwich

Have you ever had a seagull stew

I had a pet pitiful penguin and I made him watch the six o'clock news

And shine my shoes

I got the help preserve 'em, don't deserve 'em, try and serve 'em, love 'em all blues.


Well, have you ever seen a madras monkey

Have you ever seen an orlon eel

I had a pet pitiful parrot and I taught him how to pick and choose, drink my booze

I got the help preserve 'em, don't deserve 'em, try and serve 'em, love 'em all blues.


Just keepin' track of where things are all goin'

Baby just keepin' track


Housefly

Tell me what you're thinkin' 'bout

Housefly

Tryin' to really sort it out

Flying head-on into the plate glass window

Sniffing that DDT.


Dumb bird

Flyin's comin' slowly to you

Dumb bird

Flyin' isn't holy to you

Heading down South for the big celebration

You got a ride for me

Know what I'm tellin' ya.


Show biz train, baby won't you climb on board.
