(Rafferty/Egan)
Got to get back to the telephone,
Make some money from a complete unknown.
I know everything that I've got to say,
I know 'cause I'm a good businessman.
I can make you rich, I can make you a name,
Promise you the world if you'll play my game.
If you don't want to play it, don't bother me.
That's why I'm a good businessman.
A good businessman, a good businessman,
A good businessman, a good businessman.
If I find that you ain't got no trust in me,
Then it's time to use my psychology.
I can change your mind, I can turn you around,
I know 'cause I'm a good businessman.
Let me tell you now, I don't need your respect,
Seems to me there's one thing that you forget:
I ain't in this business to be friends with you,
That's why I'm a good businessman.
A good businessman, a good businessman,
A good businessman, a good businessman.

A good businessman, a good businessman,
A good businessman, a good businessman.

Stealers Wheel è stato un gruppo musicale rock scozzese formatosi a Paisley nel 1972 da Joe Egan e Gerry Rafferty, due amici d'infanzia. Il loro successo internazionale arrivò con l'album di debutto omonimo del 1973, che includeva il singolo "Stuck in the Middle with You", diventato un classico intramontabile grazie alla sua presenza nel film "Reservoir Dogs". La band ha pubblicato altri due album di successo, "Ferguslie Park" (1974) e "Right or Wrong" (1975), prima di sciogliersi nel 1976. Egan e Rafferty hanno proseguito le loro carriere musicali in modo indipendente, con Rafferty che ha raggiunto il successo solista con brani come "Baker Street". Stealers Wheel è ricordato per la sua musica folk-rock caratterizzata da melodie orecchiabili e testi poetici.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
