Businessmen Songtext
von B.B. & the Blues Shacks

I drink up my money every once in a while
Oh! That sure ain′t too funny but I'm wearing a smile
I′d rather collect bottles from a garbage can
Than to run the company that ain't my serious plan
Oh! For sure I don't make a good businessman


All I hear them talk about it is dollars, nickles and dimes
I don′t know how to get them, baby, I smell crimes
A regular junk won′t make you reach, my friend (oh no)
I never did wrong I hope you understand
And I won't make a good businessman (oh no-no-no)

Sure enough baby I ain′t that kind
I ain't got no deal with the devil′s sign
I got no account with the bank of Japan
And I work for my money just as good as I can
For sure I ain't no business man (oh! No-no-no)


I never wanted to be one of those guys without any conscious
But all that big time money around me, oh! Where do they come from?
Oh! People working like it′s slavery times
Oh! And those people don't care at all
I'm just the kind of boy trying to make an honest buck
