I got no gun in my pocket Just got my suitcase in my hand I walk right up to the window I got my speeches all planned 'Cos every boy must make his fortune Get in you car and cruise Every stop light's just a caution Take care 'cos you might lose
I watch the suit in the background He's got a phone stuck to his ear Another suit joins into listen And then they turn round and stare The teller looks at my number The teller looks me in the eye He sees my lips are faintly twitching He sees my heels as I fly 'Cos every boy must make his fortune Get in you car and cruise Every stop light's just a caution If that's the law you choose
If I can do a trick or two It's gotta get you in And if you think I'm thinking That you haven't seen a thing But this time I'm gonna hang ...
I let my suit do the talking Don't wanna give myself away My plea is please sir please sir ... I'm just a child gone astray But don't you ask for a whisper Because you'll get not a word Yeah I already made my statement And now I'm forging ahead 'Cos every boy must make his fortune Get in you car and cruise Every stop light's just a caution If that's the law you choose
If I can do a trick or two It's gotta get you in And if you think I'm thinking That you haven't seen a thing But this time I'm gonna hang on to my skin
