Mr. Businessman Lyrics - Cliff Richard

Itemise the things you 

covet as you squander 

through your life. 

Bigger cars, bigger 

houses, term insurance 

for your wife. 

Tuesday evenings with your harlot, 

and on Wednesdays it's 

your charlatan analyst, 

he's high upon your list. 

You got air conditioned 

sinuses and dark, disturbing doubts 

about religion. 

And you keep those cards 

and letters going out. 

And while your 

secretary's tempting you 

your morals are exepting 

you from guilt and shame, 

heaven knows 

you're not to blame!

You better take care of 

business, Mr. Businessman, 

what's your plan? 

Get down to business, 

Mr. Businessman, if you can 

before it's too late, 

and they throw your life away. 

Did you see your children 

growing up today, 

and did you hear the 

music of their laughter 

as they set about to play? 

And did you smell the 

fragrance of those roses 

in your garden? 

Did the morning sunlight 

warm your soul and 

brighten up your day? 

Do you qualify to be 

alive or is the limit 

of your senses 

so as only to survive? 

Photos 

Spending counterfeit 

incentive, wasting 

precious time and health. 

Placing values on the 

worthless, disregarding 

priceless wealth. 

Well, you can wheel and 

deal the best of them 

and steal it from the rest of them. 

You know the score, 

their ethics are a bore. 

86 proof anesthetic crutches 

brought you to the top 

where the smiles are all synthetic 

and the ulcers never stop 

when they take that final inventory 

yours will be the same 

sad story everywhere - 

noone will really care. Noone more lonely than 

this rich important man. 

Let's have your autograph 

ENDORSE your epitaph! 

You better take care... 

...if you can!
