(Rafferty/Egan)
|
|
Got to get back to the telephone,
|
Make some money from a complete unknown.
|
I know everything that I’ve got to say,
|
I know ’cause I’m a good businessman.
|
|
I can make you rich, I can make you a name,
|
Promise you the world if you’ll play my game.
|
If you don’t want to play it, don’t bother me.
|
That’s why I’m a good businessman.
|
|
A good businessman, a good businessman,
|
A good businessman, a good businessman.
|
|
If I find that you ain’t got no trust in me,
|
Then it’s time to use my psychology.
|
I can change your mind, I can turn you around,
|
I know ’cause I’m a good businessman.
|
|
Let me tell you now, I don’t need your respect,
|
Seems to me there’s one thing that you forget:
|
I ain’t in this business to be friends with you,
|
That’s why I’m a good businessman.
|
|
A good businessman, a good businessman,
|
A good businessman, a good businessman.
