Agent's Office

(الألبوم: Lady Sings The Blues - 1972)

You got a felony rap against you, and that automatically revokes your license in New York. You know that

No, I didn't know that

And if you're not working in New York, you're nothing
Give me an idea. Give me a suggestion. I'll work with you. I love your work. What can I do?

Let's kick it around

All right. Think about it
Wait a minute. Wait a minute

Did you ever hear of any agent in the world booking a jazz singer into Carnegie Hall? I'll have the newspaper guys, the magazine fellows, the radio, the newsreel
And, Billie, when that curtain goes down on your opening night, you're gonna hear a noise that'll shake that frigging place
Then show me the license commissioner with the courage, who would dare not to give you back your license. That audience will tear him into bits

Billie, you're gonna do it?

What do you think?

You couldn't do that for me, could you?

You've made a deal
