Stan Ridgway - Salesman lyrics
Your rating:
And all over this big land And I got something here in my bag for every woman and man And nowhere is too far 'cause I cover a pretty wide base >From way down South to way up North I'll shake hands with any friendly face CHORUS Salesman, salesman, Why don't you sell me something? Salesman, salesman, Why don't you sell me something Now I got a box in hand Aand I'm gonna travel that land I'm a salesman for hire And I never get tired So just plug it in and it'll work Don't worry about it breakin' It's factory made and guaranteed, and we're not fakin' CHORUS Now I keep bangin' on my case And smilin' broad and make the deal But sometimes my feet begin to shake Like I'm slippin' on a banana peel And I been everywhere around this world I fly on the edge of the ball I got the umbers all up here I just read the map and steer that's all CHORUS Now I'll never give up this life This life has called me to I gotta get to New Orleans by noon, if I could only find my shoe 'Cause I'm a salesman Pleased to meet 'cha I've seen the dirt and dust of a hundred towns like this I just work my way on through Soometimes it's just hit and miss And got a little something here in my bag to help me burn the leaves But I gotta watch it close this time I know Because nothing comes for free (no, nothing comes for free) I knew a little girl in Idaho Guess I'll look her up now in a week or so She was always good for a laugh and a drink And what the traffic would allow CHORUS Everybody wants a real deal-everybody wants a real deal ----------------------------------------------------------------------
