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

(Instrumental break)

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

(Instrumental fade out)
