Glamour Boy Songtext
von The Guess Who

Glamour boy
Get your costume on, you got ′em lined up, waitin' for you
Glamour boy
You got ′em standin' in the aisles so don't hang ′em up

For twenty-five thousand dollars you can look like a woman tonight
For twenty-five thousand dollars, I think it′ll work out right

I think it'll work out
I think it′ll work out
Oh, you never know how to write it
Think it'll work out

Glamour boy
You been tops for a while with a million dollar smile
Glamour boy
You got rave reviews and you′re front page news

For thirty-seven thousand dollars you can look like your sister tonight
For thirty-seven thousand dollars, I think it'll work out right


I think it′ll work out
I think it'll work out
Oh, you never know how you'll write it
Think it′ll work out

So spin with the archer now
And laugh in his face as he cocks his bow
Steal from his mistress
As she′s makin' love to your family

And be aware that there′s not many there
Who want to take time to sing and play
An honest song for the people no more

Come on, take time to sing and play
An honest song for the people tonight
Don't you wanna take time to sing and play
An honest song for the people tonight?

{Ladies and gentlemen, a warm space aged welcome
If you will, for the most phenomenal group of the century
Ricky and The Balloons}

Glamour boy
You really had your fill and it′s all downhill
Glamour boy
You got tales to tell when you see your old friends


For forty-nine thousand dollars you can look like a woman tonight
For forty-nine thousand dollars I think it'll work out right

I think it′ll work out
I think it'll work out
Oh, you never know how you'll write it
Think it′ll work out

So spin with the archer now
And laugh in his face as he cocks his bow
Steal from his mistress
As she′s makin' love to your family

And be aware that there′s not many there
Who want to take time to sing and play
An honest song for the people no more

Don't you wanna take time to sing and play
An honest song for the people no more?
Don′t you wanna try and take time to sing and play
An honest song for the people tonight?

You can't fool ′em, take time to sing and play
An honest song for the people tonight
They're gettin' smarter, take time to sing
An honest song for the people tonight

Don′t you wanna try and take time to sing and play
An honest song for the people tonight?
Come on and take time to sing and play
