Interesting perspective, Marji. Got me to go back and look at Robbie Robertson’s lyrics:

“Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap?

Here on the street

I got six on each arm

And two more 'round my feet

Life is a carnival

Believe it or not

Life is a carnival

Two bits a shot…”

Seems like he’s talking primarily about your parental view, a little wary, maybe cynical, trying to sell your wares, not get taken advantage of, but also make sure you take your “shot.” 😎
