Guess Who, The - Attila's Blues Lyrics
Show biz train, baby won't you climb on board.
Is your manager managing to manage for the best
Or is he making out fine for himself
Does your record label bring you in with trumpets and horns
Is your lawyer lyin' to you, do you really want to know
As your agent waiting home for his pay, pay, pay
Welcome one and all now to show show business
Wouldn't have it any other way.
Got some people lining up for seven days before you come
But then your house is full of empty chairs
Are you finding self-importance in the things that you've done
You're findin' out that no one really cares
Do the people buy your records, do they play them on the air...
Welcome one and all down to show show business
Wouldn't have it any other way.
Show biz train, baby won't you climb on board.
Well have you ever had an aardvark sandwich
Have you ever had a seagull stew
I had a pet pitiful penguin and I made him watch the six o'clock news
And shine my shoes
I got the "help preserve 'em, don't deserve 'em, try and serve 'em, love 'em all" blues.
Well, have you ever seen a madras monkey
Have you ever seen an orlon eel
I had a pet pitiful parrot and I taught him how to pick and choose, drink my booze
I got the "help preserve 'em, don't deserve 'em, try and serve 'em, love 'em all" blues.
Just keepin' track of where things are all goin'
Baby just keepin' track
Housefly
Tell me what you're thinkin' 'bout
Housefly
Tryin' to really sort it out
Flying head-on into the plate glass window
Sniffing that DDT.
Dumb bird
Flyin's comin' slowly to you
Dumb bird
Flyin' isn't holy to you
Heading down South for the big celebration
You got a ride for me
Know what I'm tellin' ya.
Show biz train, baby won't you climb on board.

Are you finding self-importance in the things that you've done
You're findin' out that no one really cares
Do the people buy your records, do they play them on the air ...
But the warehouse must be where they stay..........I really love this song
“Atilla” was Don Hunter, the group’s road manager who was ultimately responsible for keeping the boys in line. Imagine what a handful of a job that must have been.
MY FAVORITE SONG
Can`t feel bad when listening to this song! Way ahead of its time. Thanks, Burton Cummings.
Road food was a gem of a album for the Guess Who, sold well to university students. This song is superb and so different and amazing piece of music and art, like all the Guess Who songs! Super group! The Guess Who were definitely in a league of their own!
The Guess Who is my 2nd favorite band of all-time, trailing only Britain's Foghat. Great rock and roll from both of them!!!!
Great album! Such a toe stomper.
Who is Atttila?
the hun i think as in atilla the hun hun he he NOT you are a guy sawwy
Fantastic arrangement, great grove and beat, another great lead vocal. Another signature Guess Who lead guitar break. Superb bridge and harmony, and so original like all of their material. Pederson by far the best pop rock drummer I ever heard and can sing as well!
Have you ever had an ardvaark sandwich?
Just keepin track.
Welcome one and all to show show business. But the the way have you ever had a Seagull Stew? I saw these guys since 1972 at the CNE in TO and with thr gang and Burt and who ever dozen times or two.
Welcome one and all to show show business.
They really aced this song, and how!
this song is so kewl!
we were too spoiled, having good stuff like this coming out all the time! And The Guess Who was one extremely hardworking band.
The album the band went through hell and high water to finish . The cummings - Winter relationship was all but over . This was near the end . Great time for the band while it lasted .
rick petroske actually my favorite GW album. What is the Attila reference? I can tell you know this band
mike george I think Atilla is an allegory about tryanical record execs.
I didn't know BC and KW had a sour collaboration. I know I like Winter much more than Bachmann and it seems BC wrote better songs with KW. Thanks for the news.
