The Ballad Of Dan

The Arrogant Worms

I'm out on the range, surveying the land 
Thinking of the job that's to be done 
My life is hard but I don't mind 
Men like me, that's how the west was won 
I stand the pain and the suffering 
For on the trail I am the king 
On doors I knock and on bells I ring 
Always sure that I will get the sale 

'Cause I am Dan the Insurance Salesman 
In a beat-up Chevrolet I do ride 
I rope them in and tie them up and bind them legally 
And on the dotted line I make them sign 
Hi-de-hey (Hi-de-hey, hi-de-hey, hi-de-hey) hey! 

The door swings wide and I sense my prey 
Ready to fall victim to my pitch 
I tell him all about the plan 
With all of its inherent benefits 
If you lose an arm it's a thousand bucks 
Lose both of them and get twice as much 
And if you should die, well then, bless your luck 
You'll just be raking in the cash 

'Cause I am Dan the Insurance Salesman 
In a beat-up Chevrolet I do ride 
I rope them in and tie them up and bind them legally 
And on the dotted line I make them sign 
Hi-de-hey (Hi-de-hey, hi-de-hey, hi-de-hey) hey! 

The sucker signs, the deed is done 
It's time for me to get back on the road 
A lonely man out on the land 
Where the wind can blow so cold 
I ride into the setting sun 
With the knowledge of a job well done 
But I can't rest until everyone 
Has become properly insured 

'Cause I am Dan the Insurance Salesman 
In a beat-up Chevrolet I do ride 
I rope them in and tie them up and bind them legally 
And on the dotted line I make them sign 
Hi-de-hey (Hi-de-hey, hi-de-hey, hi-de-hey) hey! 

Yes, I am Dan the Insurance Salesman 
In a beat-up Chevrolet I do ride 
I rope them in and tie them up and bind them legally 
For on the dotted line I make them sign
