[00:00.500]Yakety Axe -Mark Knopfler
[00:05.730]Poverty stricken but still
[00:07.620]I'm a-stickin'to the things I know to be facts
[00:10.390]One day it's feathers and the next day chicken
[00:13.80]While I'm pickin'my yakety axe
[00:15.610]Ev'rybody says that I never will get far
[00:18.160]Keepin'out of work by pickin'this guitar
[00:20.610]Livin'on a shoestring puttin'off things like a shave and a haircut
[00:25.410]Money don't matter as long as
[00:27.630]I scatter a little bit of happiness around
[00:30.119]If people keep a grinnin'I figure
[00:31.739]I'm a winnin'my good old yakety sound
[00:35.218]City folks go around turnin'up their noses and
[00:37.908]Countin'their greenbacks and smellin'their roses
[00:39.768]But I wouldn't trade my yakety axe even for a T-bone
[00:45.288]I'm confessin'I never took a lesson all my notes are a matter of guessin'
[00:50.288]Hopin'they'll come out in some kinda manner that'll make the yakety sound
[00:54.888]So if you're in the mood and your feet start tappin'
[00:57.318]And you feel laid back and your hands start clappin'
[00:59.778]Then I'll have done what I wanted to from way back
[01:02.248]You're diggin'my yakety axe
