Gotta Serve Somebody |
| You may be an ambassador to England or France, |
| You may like to gamble, you might like to dance, |
| You may be the heavyweight champion of the world, |
| You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls |
| But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed |
| You’re gonna have to serve somebody, |
| Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord |
| But you’re gonna have to serve somebody. |
| You might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on the stage, |
| You might have drugs at your command, women in a cage, |
| You may be a business man or some high degree thief, |
| They may call you Doctor or they may call you Chief |
| But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed |
| You’re gonna have to serve somebody, |
| Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord |
| But you’re gonna have to serve somebody. |
| You may be a state trooper, you might be a young Turk, |
| You may be the head of some big TV network, |
| You may be rich or poor, you may be blind or lame, |
| You may be living in another country under another name |
| But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed |
| You’re gonna have to serve somebody, |
| Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord |
| But you’re gonna have to serve somebody. |
| You may be a construction worker working on a home, |
| You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a dome, |
| You might own guns and you might even own tanks, |
| You might be somebody’s landlord, you might even own banks |
| But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed |
| You’re gonna have to serve somebody, |
| Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord |
| But you’re gonna have to serve somebody. |
| You may be a preacher with your spiritual pride, |
| You may be a city councilman taking bribes on the side, |
| You may be workin' in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hair, |
| You may be somebody’s mistress, may be somebody’s heir |
| But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed |
| You’re gonna have to serve somebody, |
| Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord |
| But you’re gonna have to serve somebody. |
| Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk, |
| Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk, |
| You might like to eat caviar, you might like to eat bread, |
| You may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed |
| But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed |
| You’re gonna have to serve somebody, |
| Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord |
| But you’re gonna have to serve somebody. |
| You may call me Terry, you may call me Timmy, |
| You may call me Bobby, you may call me Zimmy, |
| You may call me R.J., you may call me Ray, |
| You may call me anything but no matter what you say |
| You’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed |
| You’re gonna have to serve somebody. |
| Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord |
| But you’re gonna have to serve somebody. |
