| I was told I had to grease his palm
|
| To walk from school without the fear of harm
|
| He knocked me down and took my dollar from me And then he lay these pearls of wisdom on me He say; |
| Business is business, nothing is free
|
| Business is business, don’t you blame me Business is business, you’ve got to pay
|
| Business is business, can’t get away
|
| Business is business, a man’s gotta live
|
| And what I can take is more than you’d give
|
| Nothing has changed since I left school behind
|
| The bullies now just all wear suits and ties
|
| They’ll buy you lunch to get that dollar from you
|
| And then they’ll lay the mumbo-jumbo on you
|
| Business is business, nothing is free
|
| Business is business, don’t you blame me Business is business, you’ve got to pay
|
| Business is business. |
| can’t get away
|
| Business is business, don’t call me a crook
|
| It’s perfectly legal, I go by the book
