Salesman — текст песни (Stan Ridgway)

Now, Ive been travelin long and hard

And all over this big land

And Ive got somethin here in my bag

For every woman and man

And nowhere is too far

cause I cover a pretty wide base

From way down south to way up north

Ill shake hands with any friendly face



Chorus:

Salesman, salesman

Why dont you sell me somethin

Salesman, salesman

Why dont you sell me somethin







Now Ive got a box in my hand

And Im gonna travel that land

Im a salesman for hire

And I never get tired

So just plug it in and itll work

Dont worry about it breakin

Its factory made and guaranteed

And were not fakin





Chorus repeat





Now, I keep bangin on my case

And smilin broad and make the deal

But sometimes my feet begin to shake

Like Im slippin on a banana peel

Stan slips about





And Ive been everywhere around this world

I fly on the edge of the ball

I keep the numbers all up here

I just read the map and steer, thats all





Chorus repeat





Now Ill never give up this way of life

This life has called me to

Ive gotta get to new orleans by noon

If I can only find my shoe

cause Im a salesman! pleased to meetcha!





And Ive seen the dirt and dust

Of a hundred towns like this

I just work my way on through

Sometimes its just hit and miss

And I got a little something here in my bag

To help me burn the leaves

But I gotta watch it close this time

I know, because nothin comes for free

No, nothin comes for free





I know a little girl in idaho

I guess Ill look her up now in a week or so

She was always good for a drink and a laugh

And what the traffic would allow





Chorus repeat





Everybody wants a real deal, everybody wants a real deal

Everybody wants a real deal, everybody wants a real deal
