Open a door
|
On the seventeenth floor
|
Secretary sends me through
|
Walkin¡¯ right in
|
With a big time grin
|
But I¡¯m shakin¡¯ in my shoes
|
|
Suit One shakes my hand
|
But it takes him a beat to recall my name
|
Gotta move it along
|
Gotta play somethin¡¯ strong
|
Gotta show ¡®em why I came
|
|
Work the room
|
Work the room, baby
|
Nobody here want¡¯s to know you
|
But tomorrow they¡¯ll be talkin¡¯ about you
|
Work the room
|
|
Startin¡¯ in sweet
|
With a rockin¡¯ beat
|
Show ¡®em I can really ride
|
Not about fluff
|
Get to serious stuff
|
Here¡¯s my softer side
|
|
Suit Two frowns
|
Is it bringin¡¯ him down?
|
Of does it mean he¡¯s in the groove?
|
Back to the beat
|
Activatin¡¯ their feet
|
See the Pradas start to move
|
|
Work the room
|
They¡¯re movin¡¯
|
Oh baby
|
Watch them beginnin¡¯ to wonder
|
You can bet tomorrow
|
They¡¯ll have serious hunger
|
Work the room
|
|
Go one step up
|
Or all the way back
|
Take the turns
|
Or jump the track
|
Rise an inch ? or fall for a mile
|
All the time remember to smile
|
|
Stoppin¡¯ the show
|
But they don¡¯t say go
|
Suddenly smiles all ¡®round
|
Man oh man
|
We¡¯re shakin¡¯ hands
|
Telling me they like my sound
|
|
Big Suit smilin¡¯ at me
|
Talkin¡¯ about sales and fame
|
Everybody¡¯s talkin¡¯ to me
|
Makin¡¯ it like I got it
|
Dammit now they know my name!
|
|
Work the room
|
They want me
|
Shit, I got it!
|
You went in an unsung zero
|
You¡¯re comin¡¯ out a musical hero
|
Never gonna have to work the room again!
|
