Draw Partner


To the tune of dead or alive

By Jon Bon Jovi



It's all the same, only the names change

Every day I put on my black beret

I draw a face

The reception is cold

I tell them art’s subjective

But they aren’t sold



I'm a quick draw

Better watch who you deride

And I'm wanted

Dead or alive


I'm a quick draw

Cuz I’ll draw your face cock-eyed

And I'm wanted

Dead or alive


I draw on the street, all day I hear cliches

The people I meet, give no tips but lots of praise

It’s one of my apprehensions

That I’ll run out of ink

At caricature conventions

All they do is drink


I'm a quick draw

You can’t run and you can’t hide

And I'm wanted

Dead or alive

Wanted

Dead or alive



And I walk these streets, a loaded easel on my back

I got my artist peeps

And I’d love to draw you whack

I've been everywhere, still I'm standin' tall

I've seen a million faces and I've DRAWN them all!


'Cause I'm a quick draw

Don’t look so terrified

And I'm wanted

Dead or alive


Yea I’m a quick draw

Do Ya wanna step outside?

Cuz I’m wanted

Dead or alive


I'm wanted

Dead or alive

And I'm a quick draw

I’ve got Stan Lee on my side

And I'm wanted

Dead or alive


You can’t deny

Little girls gonna cry

I’m wanted

Dead or alive

Dead or alive

Dead or alive
