Song lyrics
All day readin' all your magazines
Thinkin' that you got it made
You're dressed to kill you're going out tonight
Bringin' on your limousines
Yeah alright, the girl that made you now
Every trick in the book
Lookin' sharp, you're feelin' heat
Like some cat on a hot tin roof
Sharpshooter
Thinkin' that you got it made
Sharpshooter
Leave her at the light for dead
Quick as a shot
You think you're hot
You're stealy as you start the night
You're goin' downtown
Lookin' mighty clean
When you wish to take a shot
It's alright, your girl that made you now
Every trick in the book
Feelin' heat, look so sharp
Like some cat on a hot tin roof
Well, alright, it's okay, tonight
Yes, make you number one
It's alright, it's okay
But we think you dropped the gun
So right, so dead
Yeah...
Sharpshooter
Thinkin' that you got it made
Sharpshooter
Thinkin' that you'll win the race
All day readin' all your magazines
Thinkin' that you got it made
You're dressed to kill you're going out tonight
Bringin' on your limousines
Yeah alright, the girl that made you now
Every trick in the book
Looking sharp, you're feeling heat
Like some cat on a hot tin roof
Well, alright, it's okay, tonight
You think you're number one
It's alright, it's okay
But we think you dropped the gun
It's alright, it's okay
Sharpshooter
Take another moment to please
Sharpshooter
Lookin' for another to tease
Sharpshooter
Thinkin' that you got it made
Sharpshooter
Thinkin' that you'll win the race
Sharpshooter
