Steely Dan Database
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] [Chorus]
