Down and out

It´s good to be here! How´ve you been?
Check my bags, boy! Where´s my room?
Gotta sit on the phone, that´s my game.
Keep up the pressure all the way!
I don´t want to beat about the bush
but none of us are getting any younger.
There´s people out there who could take your place.
A more commercial view! A fresher face!
I need a shower, take a nap
I´ll meet you in the bar, we must have a rap.
There´s a lot on the line, a lot to say.
And there´s something I must tell you today.
You and I both knew the score,
you can´t go on like this forever.
o it´s with regret that I tell you now
that from this moment on,
you´re on your own!
I don´t talk round corners, right between the eyes
If you´re slow they´ll run past you,
Stand tall, see them falling over.
I walk a straight line, right between the eyes.
But just show me the door, show me someone who´ll do it better.
The drinks are on me, be my guest.
Smoke a cigar? Take the best.
Don´t hedge your bets, we can make a deal,
got it in your pocket, how do you feel?
So glad that´s over, now you know,
but I´m only acting under orders.
And looking down on you from way up here.
You´ve gotts sink or swim, get off the floor!
I don´t talk round corners, right between the eyes
If you´re slow they´ll run past you,
Stand tall, see them falling over,
I walk a straight line, right between the eyes.
But just show me the door, show me someone who´ll do it better.
Check my bags, boy! Where´s my room?
Gotta sit on the phone, that´s my game.
Keep up the pressure all the way!
I don´t want to beat about the bush
but none of us are getting any younger.
There´s people out there who could take your place.
A more commercial view! A fresher face!
I need a shower, take a nap
I´ll meet you in the bar, we must have a rap.
There´s a lot on the line, a lot to say.
And there´s something I must tell you today.
