Lyrics
I want a job that's not too demandin'
Like where we got to do a lot of standin'
No way to be an elevator operator
No way a salesman, no way a waiter
'Cause I'm a gentleman
Gentleman of leisure
Classified ads got nothin' too appealin'
I don't know, but I've just got the feelin'
It might take a while to find a position
With a pretty secretary and time to do some fishin'
'Cause I'm a gentleman
Gentleman of leisure
I'm a gentleman (I'm a gentleman)
Gentleman of leisure (gentleman of leisure)
Set me in the sun (set me in the sun)
Gentleman of leisure (gentleman of leisure)
Let me take my time (let me take my time)
Bet you I can please you (bet you I can please you)
40 hour week (can ya make it 30?)
No heavy liftin' (get yourself dirty)
Beautiful office (37th floor)
Paintings on the wall (sign on the door saying)
Hmm, gentleman of leisure
You know, I look nice in a clean white collar
Take home pay, oh, say a million dollars
I'll keep lookin', never say die
'Cause somebody somewhere is lookin' for a guy
Who's a gentleman, a gentleman of leisure
Oh, I'm a gentleman (I'm a gentleman)
Gentleman of leisure (gentleman of leisure)
Set me in the sun (set me in the sun)
Gentleman of leisure (gentleman of leisure)
Let me take my time (let me take my time)
Bet you I can please you (bet you I can please you)
Now I'm not looking for a high-tech position
I'm thinking of something more like work on the beach
Oh, ma'am, could I help you put that suntan lotion on your back?
Now we're talking, that's the kind of work I like
Mmm, dog walking, I can do that
Play chess down on Lakeshore boulevard
Looking good
Yes, I was a lifeguard once
