Artist/Band: Waylon Jennings
Lyrics for Song: Mr. Shuck and Jive
Lyrics for Album: Legendary Outlaws (Willie & Waylon) [Madacy Record [2003]



(Jim Webb)



Tell us once again this morning

Old friend how did you win the war

Everybody loves a hero it don't matter

If they've heard the tale before.



And tell us of the time when

Almost everybody knew you were a star

And how intelligent you are

Prove that you're alive Mr. Shuck and Jive.



You can tell us of the man who stole

Your fortune and nearly ruined your life

Or better still the one about the TV

And the couch and your best friend's wife.



Tell us of grand projects never finished

With somebody else to blame

And all the reasons that your fame

Just never did arrive Mr. Shuck and Jive.



--- Instrumental ---



If you can get yourself together

Kindly write a criticism of this song

How it's exquisitely constructed and yet

Mechanical and somehow slightly wrong.



And you can put it in your book

About the enemy you never even met

You know you just might make it yet

But somehow you'll survive Mr. Shuck and Jive...
