They know that you're the great beatmaker

Son of a small-town draper

You wanted everything on a plate, ah

Took a job as a hotel waiter

Drank your whiskey straight, no chaser

Hung around with a pretty ice-skater

Till you chat and begin to hate her

Stood there holding a cocktail shaker

While you made up your mind to forsake her

Whoa, yes, you're a boss

And it's just because

They know that you're the great beatmaker

Ooh, you sat reading the paper

Checked the pools and wondered if you'll make her

With your direct approach, nothing's straighter

A dance with you, with the great romance maker

And she's on the edge of a crater

Wait and see, I know you'll take her

Home to your place, sooner or later

Keep it up, you great heartbreaker

Whoa, now you're a boss

Well, it's just because

They know that you're the great beatmaker
