The Businessman Blues

Verse 1

If you find a diamond that belongs to no-one it’s yours!
If you discover an island that belongs to nobody, it’s yours!
If you get an idea before anyone else, it’s yours!
Well, I own the stars … I bought the stars
I own the stars … and they’re mine
Chorus 1 ‘Money … money’

Verse 2

I own the stars coz no one has thought it before
No one has thought of owning the stars before!
Nobody else has ever thought of it before
I bought the stars … I bought the stars
I bought the stars young man … and they’re mine!

Chorus 2

‘Money … money’

Verse 3 (secretaries) (spoken)

You buy a business … and you think it’s yours!
You buy a planet … and you think it’s yours!
You buy the stars … and you think they’re yours!

Businessman ‘rant’ solo (verse)

Last Chorus ‘Money … money’

Businessman: 5 … 500 … 5000 … 500 000 … 5 million ….. 500 million
501, 622,731

End (secetaries)

‘You bought the stars … ((Rall) And you think they’re yours!’
Businessman: ‘And they’re all mine!’
