Lyrics

(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. 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.
