Testo Shoeshine Shuffle
Testo Shoeshine Shuffle
Shoeshine shuffle
He´s a small town gambler
With a back-pack full of cash
Overdue depth in Vegas
Bound to jump the lash
He pulled a loaded 45
When his chips went down
Now watch him burn
His green in the joints all over town
Gamblin´-ramblin´ his heart stars trembling
When the police knocked
He was out to lunch
Well if you take it, don´t break it
Watch it if you shake it
Tough guys don´t dance
Even if they get a chance
Left-right-shoe-shine-shuffle
Face to the wall
With your hands handcuffled
Too late to realize
You ain´t no fortunate son
An it´s bye-bye-Johnny
Just another opportunity gone
He´s a low rider with a red-hot-top
Cruisin´down the strip
Like he´s never gonna stop
He got it all wrong when the dealer said
This car is hot boy
He meant the license not the rig
The fool´s now got
Reelin´ wheelin´ chasin´ down the highway
20 miles outta town they brought the sucker down
sued and busted his ol´ folks are disgusted
and the judge and the jury sing that same ol´ song
Left-right-shoe-shine-shuffle
Face to the wall
With your hands handcuffled
Too late to realize
You ain´t no fortunate son
An it´s bye-bye-Johnny
Just another opportunity gone
