[Intro]
Hey!
Woo, woo
Hey!
[Verse 1]
He's tryna survive up on Mulholland Drive
He's got the phone in the car in his hand
Everbody's tryna be a friend of mine
Even a dog can shake hands
[Verse 2]
He wants twenty percent because he knew you back when
Now they all want a piece of the band
Everbody's tryna be a friend of mine
Even a dog can shake hands
[Verse 3]
All the worms and the gnomes are having lunch at Le Dome
They're all living off the fat of the land
Everbody's tryna be a friend of mine
Even a dog can shake hands
Woo-woo, yeah
[Chorus]
Sign page forty-two, we'll do the rest for you
Find a way to make it pay
Don't lose your head, you'll end up dead
Or you'll be living in the valley some day
Hey!
[Verse 4]
I better not hope you don't rock the boat
And we'll make a few hundred grand
Everbody's tryna be a friend of mine
Even a dog can shake hands
[Verse 5]
You'll be making the scene 'til they pick your bones clean
And they don't leave much for the fans
Everbody's tryna be a friend of mine
Even a dog can shake hands
Woo-woo, yeah
[Chorus]
Sign page forty-two, we'll do the rest for you
Find a way to make it pay
Don't lose your head, you'll end up dead
You'll be living in the valley some day
Yeah
[Outro]
Well, I'm tryna survive up on Mulholland Drive
And I get it any way I can
And everbody's tryna be a friend of mine
Even a dog can shake hands
Woo-woo, yeah
Woo-woo, ain't that true?
