Extra Executives Lyrics - Singles - Jane Siberry

Blowing kisses off his face 

Like flies, like little flies 

Blowing like a grouper fish 

Floating through the reefs 

His card says executive 

But it mumbles just a salesman 

He's not sure just who you are 

But you might be a good connection 

Extra executives with a general desire 

Extra executives with a general desire 

General desire, general desire 

He took a course in sales 

He's never been the same 

A certain way to do things 

Respect for expectations 

His bank gets a promotion 

But his brain gets a vacation 

He's looking over your shoulder 

At the party for a person 

Who will change his life 

Reward him somehow 

Hey, I'm talking to you 

Extra executives with a general desire 

Extra executives with a general desire 

General desire, general desire 

He took a course in sales 

He's never been the same 

(SPOKEN) 

One time i asked him if he liked grouper fish 

and he didn't know weather I wanted to hear 

that he ate them or just admired them. And if 

he said "Yes, I think they're delicious I would align 

him with a cultural typical reward and reward him 

with a dinner invitation. Or maybe I went to the 

caribbean once and I had enough cents so I 

went out on a glass bottom boat for the afternoon 

and saw these colourful fish swimming around 

the coal reef and I asked the man at the front of the boat, 

"What kind of fish are they?" A:"Grouper Fish" and I said 

"Aren't they beautiful. Who'd ever wanna eat one?" 

And so this guy tried to be big and to lift his 'always 

dress as if you're successful cuffs' over all those 

traits and pods of non-neutral information. And I stood 

there with him in indecipherable expression, swirling the 

ice cubes in my martini and finally...he turned red and blew up. 

Everything's an exercise 

For the extra executive 

He's not sure just who you are 

But you might be a good connection 

Blowing kisses off his face 

Like flies, like little flies 

Blowing like a grouper fish 

Floating through the reefs 

Waiting for that special deal in the sky 

That he never has to trade in 

The telephone call that never comes 

The letter's not in the letter box 

The handshake that will close the deal 

The telegram that will change his life 

Extra executives with a general desire 

Extra executives with a general desire 

General desire, general desire 

He took a course in sales 

He's never been the same
