Show Biz
First performed 1/24/97

I'm going drinking with a Hollywood executive
He tells me this is how I'm gonna live
I'll party with the best of 'em
On money from the rest of 'em
It's too bad I don't drink

Well I sent my demo to Los Angeles
And a hundred rubber stamps said "Give it up"
Then one day one guy called me all excited
But I don't think I like him very much

Now I'm going golfing with a Hollywood executive
He says my record's really gonna sell
He slaps me on the back
And takes a driver from the rack
I don't have any idea how to golf

Well I sent my demo to Los Angeles
And a thousand rubber stamps said "Give it up"
Then one day one guy called me all excited
But I don't think I like him very much

I'm going out to dinner with a Hollywood executive
He orders two of everything for me
"You've got to try the caviar,"
He says through smoke from his cigar
It's too bad I'm a vegan

And I'm riding in a limo with that Hollywood executive
He's pointing out the stuff that car has got
"Yeah, that's a nice TV,"
But if this trip were up to me
I'd rather go there on my bike

Well I sent my demo to Los Angeles
And a million rubber stamps said "Give it up"
Then one day one guy called me all excited
But I don't think I like him very much
