JIMMY BUFFETT - Gentleman of Leisure lyrics

rate me

I want a job that's not too demandin'

Where you do, a lot of standin'

Don't want to be an elevator operator

No way a salesman, no way a waiter

Cause I'm a gentleman,

A gentleman of leisure

I'm a gentleman

A gentleman of leisure

Let me take my time

Betcha I can please ya

I'm a gentleman

A gentleman of leisure

Classified ads don't look too appealin'

I don't know but I've got this feelin'

Might take awhile to find a position

With a pretty secretary and some time to go fishin'

I'm a gentleman

A gentleman of leisure

40 hour week, could ya make it 30?

No heavy liftin', I get myself dirty

Beautiful office, 37th floor

Tiles on the roof and sign up on the door that says,

Gentleman of leisure

(You understand why I like this song? It fits the twilight of my career.)

Hey! I look nice in a clean white collar

Take home pay, oh, say a million dollars

I keep lookin', I'll never stay down

Cause somebody somewhere is lookin' for a guy

Who's a gentleman, a gentleman of leisure

I'm a gentleman, a gentleman of leisure

Set me in the sun

Baby, I will please ya

Cause I'm a gentleman, a gentleman of leisure

I'm a gentleman, a gentleman of leisure
