Lyrics:
the basement
Waiting for his own revival
A salesman is at the door with
A suitcase full of nothing
While the reaper's on the
Telephone making an appointment
could I ever love again?
Ooh ooh ooh without thinking it'll end
Can you blame me for trying?
You're a salesman I kept buying
It was so good then it
"You're that travelin' salesman
That I have heard about."
I said, "No! No! No!
I'm a doctor and it's true,
I'm a clean-cut kid
And I been to college, too."
Salesman talking to me tried to run me up a creek
Says you can buy it, go on try it, you can pay me next week
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too
I caught it
A salesman turned around said, boy, you break that thing you bought it
You can look but you better not touch boy
You can look but you
Mm, hmm, mm, hmm
The man I loved ran a salesman route
Selling goods from house to house (mm, hmm)
And I knew my mama would never stand
For me
A long time ago, yeah
Before you was born dude
When I was still single
And life was great
I held this job as a traveling salesman
That
the deceiver
He was just talkin' trash
Listen to me
Now when I bought my car, the salesman
Told me it'll do a hundred fifty flat
I thought I had a hot
His name was Steve
Her name was Gina
You've never been here before have you?
They met at a bar called Caboapo Cantina
He was an instant salesman
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Salesman talkin' to me, tryin' to run me up a creek
Says you can buy it, go on try it, you can pay
off, a salesman come up to me
He said "now, what can I do for you?"
I said "well go in there and show me all the sport's clothes
Like you're supposed to"
Too much monkey business,
For me to be involved in!
Salesman talkin' to me, tryin' to run me up a creek.
Says you can buy it, go on try it, you can pay
a test drive down Michigan Avenue
Now my ma, she fingers her wedding band
And watches the salesman stare at my old man's hands
He's telling us all
that travelin' salesman
That I have heard about?"
I said, "No! No! No!
I'm a doctor and it's true
I'm a clean-cut kid
And I been to college, too"
Then
Salesman talking to me tried to run me up a creek
Says you can buy it, go on try it, you can pay me next week
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too
got off, a salesman come up to me
He said "now, what can I do for you?"
I said "well go in there and show me all the sport's clothes
Like you're
I caught it
A salesman turned around said, boy, you break that thing you bought it
You can look but you better not touch boy
You can look but you
A long time ago, yeah
Before you was born dude
When I was still single
And life was great
I held this job as a traveling salesman
That kept me
the beachcomber's waitin' for the tide
Farmer's daughter's waitin' for the salesman to take her into rown
The city slicker's waitin' for the country boy to lay all
to no avail
Now stained with yellow marked with age you heard a salesman state
Boss I guess I'll throw this out it's old and out of date
The keeper
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Salesman talkin' to me, tryin' to run me up a creek
Says you can buy it, go on try it, you can pay
the story about the traveling salesman?
A thousand jokes
Stick around for the jokes
A thousand faces
I reiterate
When you're gifted
Then you're gifted
monkey business,
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved again.
Salesman talking to me,
Trying to run me up a creek,
Says you can buy
the story about the traveling salesman?
A thousand jokes
Stick around for the jokes
A thousand faces
I reiterate
When you're gifted
Then you're gifted
