Businessman - Procol Harum

He’s been working for the company

Slowly creeping up the rungs

The more that he improves his sly moves

The more the customers get stung

He’s been running all these long years

He does not try to get folk hurt

The stuff they lose has to be used

He gets them deeper in the dirt

That business man, business man

Sundays he still goes to church

I think that just makes things worse

But he’s got to carry on his search

For the comfort of his soul

Sometimes he just sits there praying

For all the bad to go away

Longing for that glory day

When futures turn to gold

If you’re a business man

You’ve got to be real

If you’re a business man

There’s no time to feel

If you’re a business man

Everything’s a deal

Although you know

It says you shouldn’t steal

He’s been financing such dark things

Despite he is family man

Magic beans and toxic genes

You’ve got to grab it while you can

Talk to him about investments

Ask him about returns

Question him about protection

You’re still gonna get burned

By that business man

You’ve got to be real

If you’re a business man

There’s no time to feel

If you’re a business man

Everything’s a deal

If you’re a business man

Don’t ever reveal

If you’re a business man

You’ve got to make 'em squeal

If you’re a business man

Well you’ve got to be real

Although, although you know

It says you shouldn’t steal
