The Guess Who
Written by Burton Cummings
Glamour boy
Get your costume on, you got 'em lined up, waitin' for you
Glamour boy
You got 'em standin' in the aisles so don't hang 'em up
For twenty-five thousand dollars you can look like a woman tonight
For twenty-five thousand dollars I think it'll work out right
I think it'll work out, uh-hah
I think it'll work out, oh, you never know how to write it
Think it'll work out
Glamour boy
You been tops for a while with a million-dollar smile
Glamour boy
You got rave reviews and you're front-page news
For thirty-seven thousand dollars you can look like your sister tonight
For thirty-seven thousand dollars I think it'll work out right
I think it'll work out, uh-hah
I think it'll work out, oh, you never know how you'll write it
Think it'll work out
So spin with the archer now
And laugh in his face as he cocks his bow
Steal from his mistress
As she's makin' love to your family
And be aware that there's not many there
Who want to take time to sing and play an honest song for the people no more
C'mon, take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
Don't you wanna take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
{spoken}
Ladies and gentlemen, a warm ???? welcome, if you will, for the most
phenominal group of the century... Ricky and The Balloons!!
Glamour boy
You really had your fill and it's all downhill
Glamour boy
You got tales to tell when you see your old friends
For forty-nine thousand dollars you can look like a woman tonight
For forty-nine thousand dollars I think it'll work out right
I think it'll work out, uh-hah
I think it'll work out, oh, you never know how you'll write it
Think it'll work out
So spin with the archer now
And laugh in his face as he cocks his bow
Steal from his mistress
As she's makin' love to your family
And be aware that there's not many there
Who want to take time to sing and play an honest song for the people no more
Don't you wanna take time to sing and play an honest song for the people no more
Don't you wanna try and take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
You can't fool 'em
Take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
They're gettin' smarter
Take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
Don't you wanna try and take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
C'mon and take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
Mmm, take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
