THE UNDER ASSISTANT WEST COAST PROMOTION MAN
(Nanker Phelge)
Well I'm waiting at the bus stop in downtown L.A.
Well I'm waiting at the bus stop in downtown L.A.
But I'd much rather be on a boardwalk on Broadway
Well I'm sitting here thinkin' just how sharp I am
Well I'm sitting here thinkin' just how sharp I am
I'm an under assistant west coast promo man
Well I promo groups when they come into town
Well I promo groups when they come into town
Well they laugh at my toupee, they're sure to put me down
Well I'm sitting here thinking just how sharp I am
Yeah I'm sitting here thinking just how sharp I am
I'm a necessary talent behind every rock and roll band
Yeah, I'm sharp
I'm really, really sharp
I sure do earn my pay
Sitting on the beach every day, yeah
I'm real real sharp, yes I am
I got a Corvette and a seersucker suit
Yes I have
Here comes the bus, uh oh
I thought I had a dime
Where's my dime
I know I have a dime somewhere
I'm pretty sure........
[Below are the extra lyrics which are on some versions]
....I have two clerks
I break my ass every day
Here comes the bus
I know I have a dime somewhere
I'm so sharp
You won't believe how sharp I am
Don't laugh at me
