Next stop Chi-town, Lido put the money down, let it roll
He said, one more job oughta get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it, one for the road
Lido, whoa, he's for the money, he's for the show
Lido's a waitin' for the go
Lido, whoa, he said, one more job oughta get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it, one more for the road
Lido be runnin' havin' great big fun until he got the note
Sayin' toe the line or blow it, and that was all she wrote
He be makin' like a beeline headin' for the borderline
Goin' for broke
Sayin' one more hit oughta do it, this joint, ain't nothin' to it
One more for the road
Lido, whoa, he's for the money, he's for the show
Lido's a waitin' for the go

I also Googled these, and they helped me realize I was wrong and it was in fact a not-crap song.

I wanna hear some "rowboat rock".
Buoyancy in rock ranges all the way from the Canoe Rock of Dan Fogelberg to the supersized, flamboyant Ocean Liner Rock of Sting, Elton John, Bowie, U2, etc.
This forum focuses on Attack Submarine Rock.

Not a bad song, in theory. It's kinda catchy and the lyrics are decent, but something about it just annoys me. Maybe it's the overproduction, maybe it's the fact that I've heard it in too many lame contexts over the years.

One safe way to come down from the "Lido Shuffle" high.
Also, I think I figured out the desk scene in that video -- he did a run-through with his band, then went to the Rolodex to get backup singers, stage crew, etc. He's a bandleader, not just a frontman.
