Salesman, where you gonna go sell
All of your goods today?
Saleman, gonna walk along the street
See friends along the way
Whoa, Salesman, with your wooden cart
That you push along while you walk
Hey, Salesman, got a little dog
Whose tail wags when you talk
You always wear a smile
Even though you gotta walk ten miles
Short lifespan, good time salesman
Yep, yep, Saleman, walk along the street
Whether it's hot or cold
It's salesman, well, you work real hard
Till every pot is sold
Salesman, as the years go by
People changin' every day
Hey, Salesman, till the end of time
You'll be living in the same way
You always wear a smile
You're love it fast, and you live wild
Short lifespan, but ain't life grand?
Copper kettles, different kinds of tin
There goes salesman, and he's sailin' high again
You're sailin' so high (high...)
You're sailin' so high (high...)
You're sailin' so high, high, high...
Oh, Salesman, where you gonna go sell
All of your goods today?
Yep, salesman, gonna walk along the street
See friends along the way
Hey, salesman, with your wooden cart
That you push along while you walk
Hey, Salesman, with your secret goods
That you push while you talk...
You always wear a smile
Even though you gotta walk a hundred and ten miles
Short lifespan, but the whole thing's grand
Salesman...
Salesman...
Salesman...
