He said, I'm fabulously rich
C'mon, just let's go
She kinda bit her lip
Geez, I don't know

But I can guarantee (I can guarantee)
There'll be no knock on the door (I can guarantee)
I'm total pro (there'll be no knock on the door)
That's what I'm here for

I come from downtown
Born ready for you
Armed with will and determination
And grace, too

The secret rules of engagement
Are hard to endorse
When the appearance of conflict
Meets the appearance of force

But I can guarantee (I can guarantee)
There'll be no knock on the door (I can guarantee)
I'm total pro here (there'll be no knock on the door)
That's what I'm here for
I come from downtown
Born ready for you
Armed with skill and its frustration
And grace, too

Him, here, now, ugh
Him, here, now, ugh
