11 Feb 01 - 12:57 AM (#395489) Subject: Dan Hicks Lyrics Add From: GutBucketeer I have been listening to some of my old Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks albums recently, and re-discovered how good they were. Someone recently requested the lyrics for "Where's the Money". When I searched there seems to be a surprising lack of his lyrics on the web. Here is one site that has several songs: http://www.ns.net/~chaler/discography_lyrics.htm I'll post some of the lyrics I have transcribed in messages that follow. If you have any, please add them too. JAB |

11 Feb 01 - 05:05 AM (#395543) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Dan Hicks Lyrics Add From: BlueJay Any particular favorites? I have all the lyrics from the great album, "Where's the Money', (as does anyone else who has that album). You are absolutely correct, JAB. Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks were, (and still are, I believe), one of the most entertaining, talented and unique bands to have ever come down the trail. I wish I had more of their stuff, but IMO "Where's the Money" is one of those ten albums that I would require once shipwrecked on that mythical desert island. Thanks, BlueJay |

It features guest artists; Rickie Lee Jones, Bette Midler, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits and Brian Setzer on guitar. This is some of his best material in years. I've seen him in concert(small venues)several times and he is truly amazing, funny too! Check out his web site, www.danhicks.com

23 Mar 11 - 02:22 PM (#3119927) Subject: Lyr Add: WHERE'S THE MONEY (Dan Hicks) From: Modulator WHERE'S THE MONEY An Indian girl once said While making Indian cornbread The eagle flies Take his advice let's go Keep moving Keep moving Safe Cracking Big Bob Is on a heavy job He heard a noise Said come on boys let's go Keep moving Keep moving A horse was in a race He could win show or place He came in first From out of thirst just to go Keep moving Keep moving Its like you've seen a cop And you don't know know exactly want to stop Its emotion lotion That makes you want to go Keep moving with the motion that'll make you wanna go! Keep moving with the motion that'll make you wanna Get in your row boat and go. A truck driver once said I've got a sleepy head He took a pill And had the will to go Keep moving in the motion that'll make you wanna go! Solo And reasonably brought down A clown could only frown But after a while He started showing his doh Where's the money Where's the money And little Betty Lou Had a date but didn't wanna screw She changed her mind When slipped a dime or so Wheres the dime? Where's the money Where's the money A real good friend of mine Is busy doing time He got real rank and asked the bank for some doh Where's the money Where's the money Where's the money if you never ever give me nothing else. Where's the money you just put it here and let me help myself. A boxer's in the ring He hears that bell go ring He wins the fight with all his box of doh Where's the money Where's the money |
