Occupation

(앨범: Introducing Sparks - 1977)

La, La
An Occupation

La, La
An Occupation

La, La
An Occupation for you

We cowboys are a hardy breed
We eat our beans and tumbleweed
We're good on horses, good with guns
We smell but so does everyone

Oh La, La
An Occupation for you
La, La
An Occupation for you

We doctors are important men
We make you feel well again
You open wide and we look in
And throw in several aspirin

Oh La, La
An Occupation for you
La, La
An Occupation for you

There are

Soldiers
Sailors
Stuntmen
Jailers
Jewelers
G-men

Unless your daddy's rich

You need an-ah
You need an-ah
You need an
Occupation

You need an-ah
You need an-ah
You need an
Occupation

La, La
An occupation for you

We athletes run around and round
We moan and groan and hit the ground
And when we get to 35
We sell cosmetics and survive

Oh La, La
An Occupation for you
La, La
An Occupation for you

There are

Bodyguards
Bouncers
TV announcers
Farmers
Models

Unless your daddy's rich

You need
La, La
An Occupation for you

(How 'bout salesmen? Huh?)

We salesmen can sell a storm
We'll sell ya blankets when you're warm
And if you're really really warm
We'll sell ya two
We've got that charm

('n pilots)

We pilots take you anywhere
We'll be your father in the air
We'll try to look calm and cool
But we're as scared as all of you (Ha, ha)

There are

Soldiers and
Sailors
Stuntmen
Jailers
Jewelers
G-men

Unless your daddy's filthy rich
You need
La, La
An occupation for you.
