Its good to be here! How've you been?
|
Check my bags boy! Where's my room?
|
Gotta sit on the phone, that's my game,
|
Keep up the pressure all the way!
|
|
I don't want to beat about the bush
|
but none of us are getting any younger.
|
There's people out there who could take your place.
|
A more commercial view! A fresher face!
|
|
I need a shower, take a nap
|
I'll meet you in the bar, must have a rap.
|
There's a lot on the line, a lot to say.
|
And there's something I must tell you today.
|
|
You and I both knew the score,
|
you can't go on like this for ever.
|
So its with regret I tell you now
|
that from this moment on,
|
you're on your own!
|
|
I don't talk round corners, right between the eyes.
|
If you're slow they'll run past you,
|
Stand tall, see them falling over.
|
I walk a straight line, right between the eyes.
|
But just show me the door, show me someone who'll do it better.
|
|
The drinks are on me, be my guest.
|
Smoke a cigar? Take the best.
|
Don't hedge your bets, we can make a deal,
|
Got it in your pocket, how do you feel?
|
|
So glad that's over, now you know.
|
But I'm only acting under orders.
|
And looking down on you from way up here.
|
You've gotta sink or swim, get off the floor!
|
|
I don't talk round corners, right between the eyes.
|
If you're slow they'll run past you.
|
Stand tall, see them falling over.
|
I walk a straight line, right between the eyes.
|
But just show me the door, show me someone who'll do it better.
