Now, I`ve been travelin` long and hard
And all over this big land
And I got something 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
I`ll shake hands with any friendly face
CHORUS
Salesman, salesman,
Why don`t you sell me something?
Salesman, salesman,
Why don`t you sell me something
Now I got a box in hand
Aand I`m gonna travel that land
I`m a salesman for hire
And I never get tired
So just plug it in and it`ll work
Don`t worry about it breakin`
It`s factory made and guaranteed, and we`re not fakin`
CHORUS
Now I keep bangin` on my case
And smilin` broad and make the deal
But sometimes my feet begin to shake
Like I`m slippin` on a banana peel
And I been everywhere around this world
I fly on the edge of the ball
I got the umbers all up here
I just read the map and steer that`s all
CHORUS
Now I`ll never give up this life
This life has called me to
I gotta get to New Orleans by noon, if I could only find my shoe
`Cause I`m a salesman
Pleased to meet `cha
I`ve seen the dirt and dust of a hundred towns like this
I just work my way on through
Soometimes it`s just hit and miss
And 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 nothing comes for free (no, nothing comes for free)
I knew a little girl in Idaho
Guess I`ll look her up now in a week or so
She was always good for a laugh and a drink
And what the traffic would allow
CHORUS
Everybody wants a real deal-everybody wants a real deal
