Stranded in Red Hook

I check in the black book

For anybody's cave

I run into guess who

A boozer to rescue

But there's nothin' left to save



The Indian hat clerk

Is doing his homework

Eating soda cracker dog style

They check it once over

And drag it to Dover

Where they dump it on the rock pile



Cause it's dog eat dog eat dog

Ain't no use to fight it

It's dog eat dog eat dog

Grab it fast and bite it

Dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog



Now I've got the power

The man in the hour

Is leaving room for no doubt

The picadors catch you

And what does it get you

But an incandescent blowout



And if he sees you

The judge he don't please you

He'll catch you on the rebound

So rip off your mask or

The best you can ask for

Is a mattress in the city pound



[Chorus]



[Solo]
