Good Businessman

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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.

(instrumental break)

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.

(instrumental fade out)
