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!
|
