Good Businessman Lyrics

Artist: Stealers Wheel
Album: Ferguslie Park

(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.

(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.
